June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month!


Pride Month, celebrated in June each year, is a vibrant and important period for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. This month-long celebration recognizes the impact and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals throughout history. It commemorates the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York City, a pivotal event that marked the beginning of the modern fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Itβs a time of both jubilation and reflection, promoting the acceptance of sexual diversity and raising awareness of issues still faced by the LGBTQ+ community. The rainbow flag, a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride and diversity, is prominently displayed during this month, representing the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Pride Month is not just a celebration but also a powerful statement about love, acceptance, and the ongoing fight for equal rights.
