Pride Month is Here!
|
|
June is Pride Month — a time when the LGBTQIA+ community comes together to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBTQIA+ people have had in the world.
The City of Irvine recently celebrated the beginning of Pride Month and Harvey Milk Day by hosting an inaugural Pride in Irvine event at City Hall.
The gathering featured the raising of the Progress Flag and provided an opportunity for residents to connect with local organizations representing the LGBTQIA+ community.
Watch a recap of the event and view pictures of the celebration. Visit the City's website to learn more about Irvine's LGBTQIA+ services and resources.
