Pride Month and the Journey Towards True Inclusion for All
June is celebrated as Pride Month worldwide — a time dedicated to honoring the LGBTQ+ community's history, struggles, and triumphs.
While Pride Month is rooted in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, its significance extends beyond this community. It embodies a broader call for inclusion, acceptance, and celebrating diversity in all its forms. Pride Month reminds us that true inclusion is not limited to any group; it is a universal pursuit that benefits society.
The Origin of Pride
The origin of Pride Month dates back to the June 1969 Stonewall Riots, a pivotal event that marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
