Happy Pride Day to LGBTQ community đź’–

LGBTQ Pride, byname Pride, annual celebration, usually in June in the United States and sometimes at other times in other countries, of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) identity. Gay Pride commemorates the Stonewall riots, which began in the early hours of June 28, 1969, after police raided the Stonewall Inn bar in Adj York City’s Greenwich Village neighbourhood.

As with numerous other beauty trends today, nail art as a form of self-expression has been embraced by the LGBTQIA+ community in recent years. Drag culture, in particular, has played a significant role in popularising flamboyant and elaborate nail designs as part of the members’ performance art and personal style. From pop culture icons such as RuPaul and Trixie Mattel to performers in queer spaces, many members of the drag community have brought creative and boundary-pushing nail styles into the beauty lexicon.
