Celebrating Pride Month! - June 2009
=========================
From June 2009
=========================
This is from the June 2009 calendar Celebrating Pride Month. The first image provides the top portion of the calendar that provides a brief history of Pride Month. Decided to share a snap of what the complete calendar looked like the rest of the images. I believe this may give you a better insight into what the Diversity Calendars we created during this time looked like.
June is Gay & Lesbian PRIDE Month.
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community worldwide events are held in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City on June 28, 1969, which most historians consider to be the birth of the modern GLBT civil rights movement. At the time, police raids on bars catering to GLBT patrons were common, but that night, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back. While historical accounts of the night vary, the violent response ignited a national firestorm of activism that brought new visibility to the struggle for GLBT equality.
