For pride month, it appears that talks regarding the LGBTQ+ community are at an all time high. However, conservatives are stating that the community is not at all under oppression. This is allegedly due to a list showing the days of celebrating the community. The list shows that it happens to be over 140 days.
However, according to GLAAD, there are a number of days regarding the LGBTQ+ awareness, but it’s not more than 100 days. More or less, including pride month, it is over 80 days. It is still quite a lot, but these are not days that are national holidays. It is simply a remembrance day for those selected occasions.
The list of awareness days that is on GLAAD are representing LGBTQ observances, events such as Black History Month, Latinx Heritage Month, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Women’s History Month, and Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
