5 Reasons Pride Month Is Just Like Your Ex (But Way More Fun)

Posted on ZazzMode.com

Every June, rainbows explode across storefronts, parades take over entire cities, and every social media feed becomes 78% glitter. Yes, darling—it’s Pride Month. And if you’re anything like us here at ZazzMode, you’re already planning outfits, practicing your strut, and wondering whether a mesh crop top counts as formalwear (it does).

It’s a wild, wonderful ride—full of drama, fashion, and just enough emotional chaos to keep things interesting. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

1. It Shows Up Once a Year and Causes Absolute Chaos

Just like your emotionally unavailable ex who resurfaced every summer “just to see how you’re doing,” this month shows up and flips your entire life upside down. Suddenly your calendar is full, your liver is nervous, and you’re questioning whether you should finally get that rainbow tattoo you drunkenly sketched on a napkin in 2017.

Difference is: this doesn’t ghost you afterward. It just gives you memories, sparkles, and sunburn.

2. It Makes You Spend Too Much Money on Things You Don’t Need (But Look Fabulous In)

Remember when your ex convinced you that matching neon tracksuits were “a vibe”? Same energy. This season has us dropping coins on glitter fanny packs, rhinestone fans, and booty shorts that barely qualify as clothing.

And you know what? Worth it.

At ZazzMode, we fully support your glitter addiction. In fact, we encourage it. (Have you seen our bestselling Oops! All Gay tee?)

3. You’re Never Quite Sure What’s Happening—But You’re Here for It

Your ex: emotionally confusing.

This month: logistically confusing.

One moment you’re at brunch, the next you’re at a dance party on a rooftop next to a 7-foot-tall drag queen named Velvet. It’s chaos. It’s magic. You didn’t plan it—but it’s your life now.

Just roll with it, honey. And don’t forget sunscreen.

4. It Triggers Identity Crises (In a Good Way)

All the fun invites some real reflection in between the vodka cranberries. You start asking deep questions like:

• Am I femme enough?
• Am I masc enough?
• Should I move to Berlin and start DJing?

But instead of crying in bed listening to Phoebe Bridgers, you’re strutting to Beyoncé in a park surrounded by chosen family. Growth.

5. It Leaves You Emotionally Exhausted… and Kind of Horny

We’re just going to say it: this month is a lot. The joy! The drama! The hookups that may or may not involve someone in full Sailor Moon cosplay!

You’ll end it sleep-deprived, dehydrated, and deeply fulfilled. Like a spiritual awakening… with body glitter.

The ZazzMode Takeaway:

This is about visibility, celebration, protest, and love. It’s the kind of messy you choose. A messy that makes you feel alive, seen, and powerful.

So throw on that ZazzMode tee. Shake what your mama gave you. Kiss who you want. Laugh too loud. Be yourself—louder.

Because honey, Pride is personal. And Pride is powerful.
Just like you.
