Pride for many is best celebrated with other queer folks, including the many queer people within our large and diverse communities.
We also recognize it can be hard to reach out and find other queer people for a lot of people, so to that end KDE and GNOME invite the queer contributors, users, and connoisseurs of FOSS to a joint matrix room to discuss and celebrate FLOSS,
and the milestones and achievements reached made by queer people in our community, with other queer members of the community. We welcome everyone of all backgrounds, identities and interests relating to FLOSS - we hope to see lots of faces in there soon!
The link to the room is: #kde+gnome-pride:matrix.org

Pride in fact is designed to make non queer people not be bigots. Its not a closed room where lgbt+ people gather to say 'yay we're queer.'
That's called a nightclub.
Pride is a march through town, it's shows, its festivals, its statements of support, its clothing, its crosswalks, its a giant pride flag at the baseball stadium.
Seneca, Selma, Stonewall. Its about rights.
