PHOTOS: Summer Is the Season for LGBT Celebrations

Pride in Hanoi, the World Outgames, and the wonderful boat parade on the canals in Amsterdam all make for a wild summer of LGBT pride.

The official U.S. LGBT Pride month may have ended more than a month ago, but as many of us know, every day is a day to celebrate the beauty and diversity of our community.

Pride celebrations are still in full swing around the globe and we’ve collected photos from several memorable events to help keep your prideful spirits high. From celebrations in Hanoi and Amsterdam to the World Outgames in Antwerp, LGBT people around the world continue to prove we are everywhere and there’s never been a better time to show your Pride.
