College of Southern Nevada issued the following announcement on June 1.
Please join us in celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride Month during the month June. This is a special time to celebrate the contributions of the LGBTQ+ persons to society while honoring the origins of the equality movement.
Pride month is celebrated in June for the annual observance of the Stonewall uprising on June 28, 1969 which proved to be a pivotal moment for LGBTQ+ equality. Our strength as a community is defined by our ability to create spaces in which all of our diverse CSN communities are embraced as their authentic selves.
As we kick off a monthlong celebration and education activities, I want to remind us all that LGBTQ+ identities are central to our pursuit of social justice. At CSN, this month provides us with the opportunity to show our appreciation to the LGBTQ+ community and I encourage you to engage in these upcoming events and activities.
