Pride Month is celebrated annually in June across the U.S. to work toward equal justice and equal opportunity for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Today, celebrations include PRIDE parades, picnics, parties, workshops, and other social gatherings. Collectively, PRIDE Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that LGBTQ+ individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
PRIDE Month is an opportunity to bring greater awareness and education to the entire community about accepting others, bringing the Y’s Mission to life by moving beyond tolerance to acceptance of LGBTQ+ staff, members, and the communities we serve. Everyone deserves to learn, grow and thrive at the Y.
