June is #PrideMonth. You’ve probably seen or heard this already. But what exactly is pride month???⠀
.⠀
According to the Library of Congress, “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as "Gay Pride Day," but the actual day was flexible. In major cities across the nation the "day" soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events. Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBTQ 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 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.”⠀
.⠀
We think we should honor pride month this month and every month after that. We think we should try to use this month to acknowledge any implicit biases we may have of ourselves or of others. We think this month we should try really hard to educate ourselves and acknowledge the struggles / hardships the LGBTQ2S+ community endures that we might not understand. We think we should all be an ally. We think we should stand up for respect and equality for all.⠀
.⠀
At the end of the day, love is love. Lost&Found is a proud ally and advocate. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⠀
