As we journey through June, let’s unite in solidarity and remembrance. LGBTQ Pride Month kicks off on June 1st. On June 12, we pause to remember the victims of the Pulse nightclub tragedy, honoring their memories and continuing the fight against hate and violence.
June 15 marks the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bostock decision, which expanded protections to LGBTQ employees, a landmark moment for workplace equality.
We celebrate Juneteenth on June 19, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, while recognizing the intersectionality of our struggles and the importance of unity in our fight for justice.
June 26 is the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to legalize marriage equality, a historic milestone in the fight for LGBTQ rights and recognition of love and commitment.
National HIV Testing Day on June 27 encourages everyone to get tested and know their status, promoting awareness and prevention in our communities.
Finally, we conclude the month on June 28 with Stonewall Day, honoring the Stonewall Riots that ignited the modern LGBTQ rights movement and celebrating the progress we’ve made since that pivotal moment.
