June is Pride Month!
June is all about honoring and celebrating members of the LGBTQ+ community! Pride Month, celebrated every June, honors the LGBTQ+ community and commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City, a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. It's a time to celebrate love, identity, and diversity, while also recognizing the ongoing struggles for equality and inclusion. Through parades, events, and advocacy, Pride Month is both a joyful celebration and a powerful call for progress. The Pride Program recognizes and supports Pride Month by hosting various events and increasing visibility during June.
