LGBTQ+ rights have been fought for in the streets, courtrooms, and legislatures, as well as in more private settings, person to person. These rights include protection from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender expression, recognition of marriage and the rights that come with it, and access to gender-affirming care.  

Each June, Pride serves as a commemoration of the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. What began in New York City is now recognized all over the state and the world. It is both a protest and a celebration.
