About Pride Month
Every year, Pride is recognized across the United States during the month of June. This is largely due to the Stonewall Uprising that took place in New York City in 1969. The Stonewall Uprising helped fuel the momentum of the gay rights movement, and following the event, activists began to organize Pride marches and parades throughout June. Today, that tradition continues, though there are many cities that hold their events at different times of the year.
We hope you can join us for our LGBTQIA2+ Pride 2022 livestream! Even if you can't donate, your support and viewership is always welcome and appreciated.
Remember — there are a variety of ways to celebrate, whether it be reading up on LGBTQIA2+ history or attending events that directly benefit causes important to their communities. The best part is, these activities aren’t limited to Pride Month. We can do our best to show our support all year round.
