Laurie Hernandez, Colton Underwood, Ben Platt and more stars opened up exclusively to Us about what Pride Month means to them
It’s officially Pride Month, and while the month of June can feel like one long rainbow-filled parade, it is also a time for reflection and community.
“My wife and I stayed in the closet for five years,” Eden added. “So for me, Pride Month is so important to explain to straight people why it’s important to have pride in who you are. … There’s a whole journey that you have to go through in order to love yourself and accept yourself. And when you get there, there’s a lot of pride that comes with that.”
Hernandez continued: “It always warmed my heart to see those Pride posts that were like, ‘For those who haven’t said anything yet: This is still your party.’ I remember my heart melting over that.” “My favorite thing about Pride is it is literally a celebration of your existence,” Oddly told Us while promoting her new book, All About Yvie: Into the Oddity. “ used as an act of protest. So I’m excited to go around and exist very clearly with all these other queers and try and protest the things that we would like to see change in the world.”In addition to sharing her journey with Pride and her sexuality, Eden also touched on the importance of inclusivity in the country music genre.
