8 Talks to Celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month
In the United States, the month of June celebrates LGBTQ Pride Month to honor the 1964 Stonewall riots that took place in Manhattan. It’s an important historical event that inspired the gay liberation movement and ushered modern rights for the LGBT community.
Within six months after the riot, gay activist organizations formed, and on June 28, 1970, the first gay pride marches took place in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago.
The celebration is two-fold: first, the understanding that the human condition is not a two-sided coin but rather a multi-faceted diamond; and two, the humbling influence of knowledge that cultivates an understanding, which leads to compassion, that improves how our society advances into the future.
Here are eight talks from LGBTQ speakers in our global community that share stories of one’s journey to self-love, acceptance, how it inspired their work and the communities they serve.
