University of Maine at Augusta June 1st Marks the First Day of Pride Month

059e

June 1st marks the first day of Pride Month. We celebrate Pride to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan and to recognize the impact LGBTQIA+ individuals have had on history. 

Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ culture, to support and advocate for queer rights, and a time to remember those who lost their lives to hate crimes and/or HIV/AIDS.

To the LGBTQIA+ community at UMA and beyond: You are valid. You are supported. You are loved. You belong here.
