Celebrate Pride 2015

In June of 1969, a riot ensued in response to police brutality aimed at a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community gathering at the Stonewall Inn (a gay bar) in New York City. These protests against police raids, harassment, and ill-treatment helped galvanize the LGBT community and allies across the U.S., giving birth to the modern LGBT rights moment.In commemoration of this critical turning point in the struggle for LGBT rights, June was proclaimed to be Pride month in 1980 - sparking years of actions from small grass roots events to major city-wide festivities around the world to celebrate the LGBT community and spotlight the LGBT rights movement.

This June/ summer is the time to keep the tradition alive!
