LGBTQ+
Pride Month
When is pride month?
June!
Why?
To honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. This was a pivotal moment for the Gay Liberation Movement.
Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBTQ Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally. Read more here.
