When we think of Pride Month, rainbows, parades, and progress may be what first comes to mind. As we celebrate the histories, contributions, and stories of LGBTQIA+ artists, activists, and communities, it is key that we also honor the legacy of Pride and its origin as a riot. We must also acknowledge that there’s still plenty to protest-–in 2022 alone there have been over 300 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills introduced across the country.
Hosted by the LGBTQIA+ Subcommittee of the Diversity Committee, this community chat will offer attendees an opportunity to reflect on the significance of Pride, review key terminology related to LGBTQIA+ populations, and discuss ways we can be advocates, allies, and accomplices for our LGBTQIA+ community members.
