How to celebrate global Pride 2020 on Saturday, June 27

The first Pride was a march, and took place fifty years ago, in 1970. This June, in 2020, because of Covid-19, we have no choice but to celebrate half a century of Pride through global virtual Pride events happening all day, on Saturday, June27.

But each one of us can celebrate Pride 2020 in our own way, sharing Pride memories, images, videos, writing, and so on.

Here are a few Pride memories of my own:
