From our GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) group: 

Saturday June 1st marked the beginning of Pride Month, a time to celebrate and honor the LGBTQ+ community.  Did you know that Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots of June 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history.  Since the Stonewall riots, progress has been made including:  legalization of same-sex marriage and increased visibility in media and politics.  There have been significant strides towards LGBTQ+

equality.  However, there's still work to be done to ensure full acceptance and rights for all.
