(KERO) — One of the main reasons Pride Month is so important for the LGBTQ+ community is to show to queer or questioning youth that they are not alone and are free to be themselves.

And studies continue to show that LGBTQ+ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their non-LGBTQ+ peers.
