Pride month has come again, a month dedicated to the representation of the LGBTQ+ community. This community has come a long way in terms of both acceptance and representation; however, there is always more work to be done. <\/p>\n\n\n

Sinclair college students shared their opinions on pride month and  its impact on the community and its evolution alongside politics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI suppose so. It’s one of those things I don’t really think about because it doesn’t normally concern me, but I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to highlight minorities and how people may think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot normally stuff I think about, but I’m not looking at a lot of Pride stuff and thinking, well, they probably should have done that better,\u201d Orwig said.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s good to have a presentation in front of people. It makes people feel better to have something. I think it can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think just having Pride month doesn’t necessarily do much, but what we’ll do with it. Having Pride parades, talking, being more open with stuff. Politics are pretty massively impactful in America, so different people do different things, like their campaign through Pride month, like advocating for it or advocating against it,\u201d Kyle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think everybody should have a moment to be celebrated and just to celebrate life in general. I think there could be more in just the community as a whole for everybody, you know what I mean? So I think it’s good to have that time,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sentiments around the campus are quite positive towards Pride month. This is evidence of a change in sentiments towards the LGBTQ+ community. It is important to note that pride month is not just a celebration, it is a time of remembrance and commemoration of all those in the LGBTQ+ community who came before and fought for their own rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
