We honor the fight that the LGBTQ community in New York City mounted to protest the hostility and discrimination they faced from police. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots – the birth of Pride celebrations as we know them.
This June, we stand with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community of California as they declare their pride in who they are and who they love. SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today issued a proclamation declaring June, 2019, as “LGBTQ Pride Month” in the State of California.Īs we celebrate and declare June as Pride Month in California, we are reminded of what makes California great – our remarkable capacity to live together and advance together across every conceivable difference.
