American pride parades celebrate the history of the American LGBTQ+ rights movement. Although pride parades are loud, colorful, and fun, they reflect a LGBTQ+ history marked with obstacles and tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image2-1.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image2-1-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pride parades in the USA occur in late June to honor the history of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stonewall_riots#:~:text=The%20Stonewall%20riots%20(also%20referred,the%20Greenwich%20Village%20neighborhood%20of\">Stonewall riots<\/a>, a 1969 series of protests by New York&#8217;s LGBTQ+ community in response to discriminatory attacks by police. Au pair <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/au-pair-advice\/lucas-has-5-lessons-every-au-pair-should-know\/\">Lucas<\/a>, from Brazil, was in the USA for the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. &#8220;Honestly, I didn\u2019t know much about our history before that,&#8221; says Lucas. &#8220;Being in the USA to witness this movement up close changed my whole perspective.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning about this history formed a whole different side to Lucas&#8217;s personality. &#8220;There was &#8216;Lucas <em>before<\/em> the pride parades,&#8217; and now there is &#8216;Lucas <em>after<\/em> the pride parades.&#8217; This second version of me even created a drag queen character, named &#8216;Bianca Pose,&#8217; to make my au pair community laugh and get through the tough times of the global pandemic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image3-1.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image3-1-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bianca Pose! Image courtesy of Lucas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, au pairs find many parts of the USA to be LGBTQ+ friendly. &#8220;During my time as an au pair living in Baltimore,&#8221; says Lucas, &#8220;I was able to frequently travel to nearby New York City and Washington, D.C. There I was able to see how the USA embraced me as a gay man. I felt safe walking on the streets and freely wearing whatever clothing I felt like wearing. The way people parade their pride flags at their front doors, and even in front of churches, made me feel loved. I hope that one day Brazil can be like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Au pair Allan also compared the USA to his home country of Brazil: &#8220;In the USA, pride parades are really big &#8211; so much bigger than in Brazil. All of the support that comes from the art &#8211; music and cinema &#8211; helps a lot. I notice gay people being themselves, going out with their favorite costumes in the concerts of their favorite singers.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s not just our au pair community that gets to support LGBTQ+ pride during their time in the USA! In 2017, Work &amp; Travel USA participant Nasrene met drag performer &#8211; and <em>RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race <\/em>season 11 contestant &#8211; Honey Davenport at New York City\u2019s pride parade!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image1-2.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.aupairusa.org\/au-pairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/image1-2-300x234.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image courtesy of Nasrene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re at a pride parade in the USA, you&#8217;ll certainly see costumes, art, and music.
