The month of June was chosen for Pride Month around the world to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBTQ+ people have had in the world.
Please see below for the 2021 virtual activities and resources to celebrate this important month.
