Pride Month in Brant
June is celebrated as Pride Month around the world in honor of the Stonewall riots, which took place at the end of June 1969. This month is a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and influence of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals across the globe, with many pride events held throughout June in their honor.
