About Pride / LGBTQIA+ History Months
UWL chose to celebrate and recognize two important celebrations in June; Pride Month and LGBTQIA+ History Month.
For Pride Month, UWL would like to recognize and celebrate our Pride Center. Our Pride center has made many steps forward over the years to create an inclusive safe space for our LQBTQIA+ Community.
LGBTQ+ Pride Month: "Commemorates the anniversary of the June 28, 1969, Stonewall riot in New York City, the incident that initiated the modern gay rights movement in the United States."
LGBT History Month: Officially observed in October, UWL chooses to celebrate in both June and October. LGBT History Month, "celebrates the lives and achievements of lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender people in the United States."
