Pride Month 2022: A Q+ Celebration!

If y’all have been following us on social media, you probably know that as part of our Pride Month celebration, we decided to give a shout-out of sorts to some of our favorite out queer folks throughout the month. It’s been a long, long journey, but we made it, folks!

From different walks of life, each and every one of these people have marked a before and after for our community, either because of the visibility they have given us or because of what they have done by supporting different non-profit organizations and charitable foundations. We know that we’re missing many of your favorites, we would have loved to include more people in the list, but our team is still small and this was a daunting task.

However, we promise that we will honor them throughout the rest of the year because here at Q+, Pride is a never-ending celebration!

Enjoy and Happy Pride! We hope you had a great and joyful month!
