Why do we celebrate Pride Month?
As we celebrate this month with the beautiful people in our lives, take a moment to remember why we are celebrating.
We celebrate pride because in 1969 the Stonewall Uprising happened in Manhatten which was the tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement.
The uprising was 6 days long and was between the police and LGBTQ+ after raiding the Stonewall Inn, a well known gay bar.
Being gay was seen as a crimal defense. Can you believe that!?
They then decided to celebrate “Gay Pride Day” on the last Sunday in June. Over the years the day grew to a month-long celebration.

FUN FACTS ABOUT MIKALAH GORDON
Mikalah identifies as a lesbian and has been in a committed relationship for six years.
Mikalah didn’t grow up dating women. At 19 she started dating men and women.
Her mother was a lesbian, she was with her dad and then women. Her dad’s mom, her grandma, chose to be with women so that makes her “a third generation lesbian.”
Her grandmother was with a black woman and they were together for 35 years in the 70s. She was a legend. She did not care.
She did not have a difficult time coming out to her family. She didn’t really have a coming out story. She dated men and then she stopped and focussed on being a singer.
When she started dating her now partner, in the beginning she brought her to events and introduced her as her girlfriend. Whoever was cool with it was cool with it and whoever wasn’t, wasn’t.
