As we dive further into our Celebrations In Pride throughout the month of June, Audacy asked some of our favorite Alternative artists why it’s essential to support the LGBTQ+ community during Pride and beyond.

Check out the powerful answers from K.FLAY, Rina Sawayama, phem, morgxn, and SHAED’s Max Ernst  as we continue to highlight the amazing diversity, creativity, and ingenuity of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Celebrate Pride on Audacy with your favorite LGBTQ+ anthems, podcasts, and more right here

“Supporting the community and raising up the community, especially in this month, but all year-round, I just feel like is a way to show everyone that every version of people is allowed.”

“It’s important to show support for all of our communities across the world, especially those that have experienced discrimination and oppression historically, and this is just a really beautiful time of year to do that. And it's also really fun!”

“There is just still so much homophobia and transphobia, and verbal, physical attacks on people who honestly just want to love who they want to love, and be who they want to be.”

“Just being a voice of support for the community and standing behind them full and whole-heartedly.”

“Supporting the LGBTQ+ community is so important because we’re still facing a ton of adversity. Having that support within our own community is vital, but we need to reach beyond that to our allies, to really make significant change.”
