From Shame to Pride: Using LGBTQ+ Pride as an Opposite Action

Pride isn’t just a parade or a flag—though those are beautiful, powerful symbols. Pride is a radical act of visibility and self-acceptance. It says: “I’m here, I’m valid, and I’m not going to disappear.”

When someone experiences LGBTQ+ Pride through the lens of Opposite Action, they’re not just celebrating—they’re healing. They’re challenging the internalized narratives of shame with lived experiences of openness, joy, and community.
