We celebrate Pride Month in June to recognize the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer identifying (LGBTQ ) people. Pride began after the Stonewall riots in 1969 in New York City, an incident that spurred the gay liberation movement and the fight for many LGBTQ rights throughout the twentieth century through today. Common symbols of Pride are the rainbow or pride flag. Pride is usually marked with large celebrations, parades, and marches throughout the month. On the day of the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, June 28, we celebrate LGBT Pride Day. At STR, we proudly celebrate and support people of underrepresented genders and sexualities.

LGBTQ History Month traces its origins back to the National Coming Out Day, which was first observed on October 11th, 1988. It was initiated by activists Robert Eichberg and Jean O'Leary as a day for people to come out as LGBTQ and allies, creating a safe space for visibility and acceptance. Throughout history, LGBTQ individuals have faced discrimination, persecution, and marginalization. However, their resilience and bravery have paved the way for progress. From the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which sparked the modern LGBTQ rights movement, to the Supreme Court's legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015, there's a rich tapestry of milestones that have brought us closer to equality. As we celebrate LGBTQ History Month, let's remember that the fight for equality continues. Support and allyship are crucial, and together, we can work towards a world where everyone can live authentically, free from discrimination and prejudice.
