Celebrating Pride 2024
As Pride 2024 approaches, it’s a time not just for celebration but also for reflection on the strides made towards LGBTQ+ equality and acceptance.
This year marks another milestone in the ongoing journey of liberation, rights and visibility for the community. Pride is not just about vibrant parades and festivities; it’s a powerful symbol of resilience and solidarity.
The theme for 2024 celebrates the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals to the field of medicine and healthcare, both historically and today. It acknowledges their remarkable contributions during modern crises, such as the pandemic and global catastrophes, while also shedding light on the challenges that the LGBTQ+ community continues to encounter within the healthcare system.
As we come together to celebrate Pride 2024, let’s reaffirm our commitment to love, acceptance, and equality for all. Below are some speakers who can offer their personal insights into this important occasion.
