Portraits of Pride - Elton John

Celebrate the LGBTQ+ individuals who inspire us to dig deeper and #MakeItResonate not just during the month of June- but everyday.

Elton’s song “I Want Love” still leaves all the feels in my heart, especially with context to what we now know he was singing about. He’s true pioneer for the queer community."
