In recognition of Pride Month, WEAO is reflecting on the history, resilience and contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
We remember the Stonewall Riots of 1969 (June 28), a pivotal moment in the movement for dignity, safety and equal rights. The events at Stonewall became a catalyst for change and helped inspire the Pride celebrations and recognition we see around the world today.
Stonewall reminds us that meaningful change often begins with the courage to speak up, support others and challenge exclusion.
As we recognize Pride Month, WEAO reaffirms our commitment to fostering respectful, welcoming and inclusive spaces where everyone can contribute, learn and thrive.
