MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee County and City of Milwaukee leaders, organizations, and other guests kicked off Pride Month on Tuesday, June 1 – and unveiled some ways the community is coming together to celebrate.
The month of June is observed nationally as Pride Month for the LGBTQ+ community. Pride Month honors the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City, which marked the beginning of the modern movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ+) Americans.
Since Milwaukee’s annual PrideFest is not able to take place in June like it normally would, a news release says local municipalities and organizations are finding additional ways to celebrate and promote diversity, inclusion, and respect for all.
