A Reminder To The LGBT+ Community: How to Stay Safe During Pride Month

[Behind the Aegis]

As Pride Month celebrations kick off worldwide, addressing the potential presence of protesters at festivals, parades, and events is essential.

A recent video garnered around 643.3K views stands as a reminder of how queer and supporters of LGBTQ+ can ensure their safety in the face of opposition.

The video started by emphasizing the importance of not engaging with protesters and instead advocated for staying in groups and looking out for one another.

“That’s right. We are not engaging. We are staying in groups. We are looking out for and keeping each other safe. And we are not giving violence away.”

This advice aims to protect individuals while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere during Pride celebrations.

Have fun, but keep your wits about you, and have an escape plan! Better to have it, and not need it, then to need it and not have it!!

1. Easy for me

I carry on me.

2. Are you that good with weapons that you can shoot your target in a crowd & not hurt others?

What is your plan when bystanders/cops jump you because you shot?

I am not asking you vercetti2021 to fight, I'm asking to learn.

3. It's more of direct confrontation

And only as an absolute last resort. I would never shoot into a crowded area. That's playing with fire. Only time I'd use it is if I was in actual danger of being killed aka assaulted physically. I'm not like these dipshit John Wayne wannabes.
