• Support LGBTQIA+ creators online
• There are tons of queer content creators on the internet, especially on the site this post is on! Go out there and support some of them by reblogging their content, spreading the word about them, giving them some money, or even commissioning them.
• Some good ones you can start with are frostedpuffs, pseudophan, me ;3, catnippackets, and lavenderdreamer13. You’ll be able to find so many more, so start looking!
• Support LGBTQIA+ musicians
• Hayley Kiyoko, Kehlani, and Troye Sivan are great artists to start with. Some smaller artists are Steph Barrak, Dolly Blonde, Renée Yoxon, Lena Raine, Anthony Amorim, The Total Bettys, and Awkward Marina. There are so many more, so get out there and find them!
• Support LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs.
• Here are some entrepreneurs: Kamasine, Raza, Between Lines Clothing
• And here are some great resources: 23 Queer Owned Businesses, LGBT-owned Businesses, Fall Essentials from LGBT+ Companies, LGBTQ Owned Etsy Shops
• Donate to an LGBTQIA+ charity.
• The Trevor Project, Family Equality Council, PFLAG, GLSEN, GLAD, Transgender Law Center, Lambda Literary, Pride At Work, Out and Equal Workplace Advocates, AVER, OutServe-SLDN, GLARP, SAGE, and the National Coalition for the Homeless are all good ones.
• Volunteer at a local LGBTQIA+ organization
• By simply googling “lgbt organizations near me” you could find many to volunteer at.
• Go to a gay bar
• Please only do this if you are of age, but going to a gay bar can be a great experience, especially during pride month. But be very careful, as there are some bad people across all sexualities, orientations, and genders.
• Not of age? Try looking on google for some gay cafés and such in your area. They’re rare, but not non-existent.
• Watch an LGBTQIA+ movie.
• Classics like Brokeback Mountain, GBF, and But I’m A Cheerleader are great. Some lesser known, but great films include The Perfect Wedding, The Girl King, Holding The Man, and Shared Rooms.
• Start (or even finish) an LGBTQIA+ show.
• Good ones include, The Real O'Neals, Will and Grace, Queer Eye, and The Fosters. 
• Some shows with LGBTQIA+ characters include Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Bold Type, Wynonna Earp, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
• Have fun using all of the pride themed features on social media
• Take some snazzy pics or take casual selfies and use all the pride filters, stickers, and more. To take it up a notch, have a full-on pride photoshoot. Get rainbow (or other pride flag color schemes) accessories/props/backgrounds/etc, get cute balloons and/or confetti, and even invite some friends over for an epic shoot.
• Watch and support LGBTQIA+ youtubers
• Youtubers like HelloXRyan, MacDoesIt, MilesChronicles, and Ash Hardell are great choices. Look around and find some more!
• Celebrate with your LGBTQIA+ and ally friends/family
• The more the merrier! Celebrating pride month alone is wonderful and valid, but so is celebrating it with others. Do one or more of these things on this list with them!
• Get yourself some pride gear!
• C'mon! You deserve it. Go out there and get some nice pride stuff to celebrate. Get some stickers, a nice shirt, a cool notepad, or anything else!
• Get tested
• While much more serious, celebrate pride by being safe and healthy. Find out your status to keep you and your partners safe. Encourage others around you to do so as well, raise some awareness around you, and honor our predecessors whose lives have been touched or changed by HIV, AIDS, and STDs.
• Make rainbow (or your preferred flag) food!
• Get some Skittles or M&Ms and arrange them in order! Make pancakes and put food dye in them! Cook pride noodles! Make a pride cake! Do whatever you’d like to have a colorful pride meal.
• Self care
• Spend this pride month celebrating and taking care of you. Engaging in self care can make you feel so great and even pampered. Take a nice bath, put on a face mask, take some time to meditate, or even have a spa night. Take care of yourself and even get some pampering. Go to the nail salon or get a massage. Celebrate you! Maybe even make it pride themed while you’re at it.
• Make some art
• Maybe paint something with the colors of whatever flag you’d like. Make jewelry in the color scheme of your choice. Just have a great time making a prideful work of art. Google “fun art projects” or use Pinterest to get started.
• Go on a date
• Have a crush you’re head over heels for? Ask them out! Single and ready to mingle? Find a fellow single at a bar/party/etc and get a date! Is there a cute barista you’ve had your eye on? Get their number! Celebrate this pride month by having fun and celebrating your sexuality/orientation/gender with someone else. Have no one to ask and nowhere to find someone? Try out a dating site or app to get things going!
• Get educated
• Learn about queer history and the background of pride month. Research queer activists or famous people in history who are LGBTQIA+. Gain some knowledge!
• Start with Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Pat Parker, Harvey Milk, the Stonewall Riots, the Gay Liberation movement, the Society for Human Rights, and the Mattachine Society.
• Spend time with your family
• Take this time to celebrate pride with others close to you. And don’t think friends don’t count as family, because they totally do! Whether your family is biological, honorary, chosen, or a mix, celebrate who you are with them.
• Buy yourself a pride flag and hang it where everyone can see (if it’s safe for you to do so)
• What better way to show some pride than hang a flag up! Whether it’d be in your home or right on your front lawn, show your pride and spirit in full color! Or maybe just wrap it around yourself and be a pride burrito.
• Here are the cheapest flags I could fine: gay, lesbian, bi, pan, aro, ace, trans, nonbinary
• Go to a pride event
• A basic, but a classic. Google “pride events near me” and see what you can do!
• Read some queer literature
• Pick up some LGBTQIA+ books or check out an LGBTQIA+ author. Read some interesting queer non-fiction or have fun imagining with gay sci-fi.
• Good starting points: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Leah on the Offbeat, Carry On, Sappho’s writing, Large Fears, Alison Bechdel, Virginia Woolf, Samuel R. Delany, Poppy Z. Brite
• Put some pride in your hair
• Whether you go to a hair salon or use spray-on hair paint, color up your hair to show your pride in style.
• Play some games
• Play classic games with a queer twist to have some prideful fun! Play charades/pictionary/etc with only LGBTQIA+ topics. Scour the internet for LGBTQIA+ themed bingo, crosswords, or word searches.
• Go watch a drag show
• Do it! Support a gay and celebrate pride all at once! No drag show near you? Catch up on some RuPaul’s Drag Race instead.
• Get in drag
• Why do Drag Race contestants get to have all the fun? Have some yourself and get a full drag makeover. Create a name and a persona and have fun being a queen.
• Here are some helpful resources: Brow Coverage 101,  15 “Drag Race” Queens’ Tutorials, Applying A Wig Perfectly
• Let your true self shine
• Always wanted a certain haircut or to dye your hair? Do it! Want to wear more masculine/feminine/androgynous clothing? Do it! Always wanted to wear makeup? Do it! Closeted and itching to come out? If it’s safe, do it! Whatever it is that you’ve wanted to do, do it and be your most authentic self. 
• Throw a pride party
