Happy #PrideMonth! 🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ This month and always, we celebrate the strength, joy, and love of the LGBTQ+ community as well as honor and acknowledge the ongoing fight for rights and recognition. June is the perfect month to learn more about the gay rights movement in America through our LGBTQ+ Rights database, which illustrates the civil rights codified into law in the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as the inequalities that still exist today.

Are you familiar with the Lawrence v. Texas Supreme Court ruling? If not, you should be. Just over two decades ago, in 2003, the decision decriminalized homosexual activity across the United States! This landmark ruling was a paramount step toward equality for LGBTQ+ individuals and made progress in reducing stigma and discrimination. It also helped lay the groundwork for further legal advancements like the legalization of same-sex marriage – which was legalized across the US in 2015. These are very significant and affirming judgments that recognize the dignity and rights of the LGBTQ+ community, who deserve privacy, respect, and freedom. While we can celebrate our progress, it’s important to remain committed to fighting for equal rights for all. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dw2nHV4h.
