Honoring Pride Month with Love, Learning, and Inclusion
Every June, the world comes together to celebrate Pride Month—a time to recognize the achievements, history, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. At TLC Family Care, we’re proud to stand in support of love, diversity, and inclusion for all.
Pride Month is more than just parades and rainbow flags (though we love those too!). It’s a meaningful opportunity for families, caregivers, and children to learn, grow, and show support in age-appropriate, joyful, and impactful ways.
Here are some family-friendly ways to honor Pride Month:
🌈 1. Host a Pride-Themed Movie Night
Gather the family for a cozy evening watching inclusive, affirming movies that celebrate differences and promote empathy. Great family-friendly options include The Mitchells vs. The Machines, Out (Pixar short), and Steven Universe.
👉 Use this as a jumping-off point for conversations about love, respect, and identity.
🍽️ 2. Cook a Rainbow-Themed Meal
Get the kids involved in the kitchen by preparing a colorful, rainbow-inspired meal or snack—think fruit skewers, layered smoothies, or rainbow veggie pizzas.
👉 As you cook, talk about the meaning behind the rainbow Pride flag and how each color symbolizes something powerful (like healing, peace, and spirit!).
🎉 3. Attend a Local Pride Event
Many cities host family-friendly Pride parades, picnics, and storytimes. These events are a great way to celebrate community, show support, and expose children to messages of love and acceptance.
👉 Not sure where to find one? Check with your local library, city website, or LGBTQ+ organizations for a schedule of events.
📚 4. Read Inclusive Books Together
Visit your local library or bookstore and pick up books that reflect LGBTQ+ stories and characters. Great picks include Julian Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love, Heather Has Two Mommies by Lesléa Newman, and Red: A Crayon’s Story by Michael Hall.
👉 Representation in stories helps all children see themselves—and others—more clearly.
💬 5. Foster Conversations About Kindness & Inclusion
Whether you’re a parent or a caregiver, now is a great time to encourage open conversations about identity, family structures, and being a kind friend.
👉 Let kids ask questions and share their thoughts. Your openness helps them build empathy and emotional intelligence.
At TLC Family Care, we believe every family deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. This Pride Month, let’s take time to lift each other up, educate the next generation, and create more inclusive communities—one conversation, one story, and one rainbow snack at a time.
Happy Pride! 🌈
