It's Pride Month!
How's it going, folks? This June, we're celebrating the contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether it be in movies, TV shows, video games, books, music, or just you as a person - we're covering it all.
Our theme for Pride this year is looking back and moving forward. We reflect on the challenges the LGBTQIA+ community faced in the past and continue to face now. The goal is to improve the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people going forwards. We can all help with this and now is the perfect time to educate ourselves and learn how we can contribute.

What can you do to celebrate and reflect?[]
Want to get involved on your wikis? There's a lot you can do and here are just a few suggestions:
- Wiki theme - customise your wiki theme with Pride colours to show your support this month. Check out designs on Wookieepedia, Avatar Wiki, and Encyclopedia SpongeBobia for inspiration!
- Highlight people in your franchise - use blogs or Discussions posts to highlight prominent LGBTQIA+ characters or creators in your franchises and their contributions.
- Editing projects - start an editing project to improve articles featuring LGBTQIA+ themes. I'm sure editors would love to get involved!
Let's get some conversations going in the comments! Share your favourite LGBTQIA+ characters and creators from your favourite franchise.
Happy Pride Month everyone! --Spongebob456 talk 10:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
