As we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community’s diversity and resilience with our Pride as Protest story series, we want to hear from you, our readers. 

We’re looking for photos of LGBTQ+ life over the decades—celebrations, protests, get-togethers with loved ones, cultural happenings and all the ways you express yourself. We welcome you to post your images to Twitter, Instagram or KQED Arts’ Facebook page with the hashtag #MyPrideLooksLike. Don’t forget to include a note about who’s in the photo, and when and where it was taken, if you can remember. We’ll be collecting photos and reposting highlights to social media and our website.
