Pride Month is an annual celebration of the many contributions made by the LGBTQ+ community to history, society, and cultures worldwide. Pride is celebrated throughout the month of June each year in commemoration of its roots in the Stonewall Riots of June 1969. Today, Pride Month symbolizes an opportunity for visibility and community. In addition to celebrating LGBTQ+ love and joy, it’s also often a time to highlight important policy and resource issues the community faces.
The official theme for 2023 is Strength in Solidarity. Recent legislation and physical violence have impacted members of the LGBTQ+ community. This year’s theme aims to be contemporary and impactful and spotlights the power and resiliency of the community and its allies, bringing a sense of hope to the struggles the LGBTQ+ community endures.
