June

Pride Month

Thursday, June 1 - Friday, June 30

LGBTQIA+ Pride Month is celebrated each June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the US. This month also recognizes the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and many others who comprise this vibrant global community--and their impact on history locally, nationally, and internationally. Festivities include parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and events which attract millions of participants around the world.

We wish you a safe and joyful Pride month!
