Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/preside…

June 30, 2010

Objective:
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month honors LGBT people and promotes equality.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month recognizes the contributions of LGBT people. It is a good time to blog about LGBT people and the ongoing need for equal rights.

LGBT Pride month is celebrated with pride parades, memorials for those lost from hate crimes as well as HIV and AIDS, and other group gathering events that attract thousands upon thousands of individuals. U.S. President Barack Obama declared June 2010 to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, stating, “I call upon all Americans to observe this month by fighting prejudice and discrimination in their own lives and everywhere it exists.”

The rainbow flag stands for LGBT pride, symbolizing the beauty of diversity.

My post is up. I live in Australia, so I guess it's the 30 of June over here first. :) My post turned out a bit feistier than I meant it be. I guess we tapped into some passion, or maybe hit a nerve! It's about marriage equality. Would love to network with any of you interested.

Feel free to do your LGBT Pride post anytime in June. I had to choose a single date when I set this up, so I chose June 30, but the celebration lasts all month long.
