June is LGBTQ Pride month all around the globe.
History: The first Pride parade happened in New York City as
gay activists commemorated the events of the Stonewall Riots the year prior.
Since the first Pride celebration over fifty years ago, the queer and trans
rights movement has evolved into a political and cultural force that’s fought
for equality for all people. Nowadays, the LGBTQ community and its allies
celebrate queer and trans Pride by throwing all sorts of celebrations.
After the parade has ended and the celebrations are over the
task of finding resources can be challenging. The National Resource Center on
LGBTQ+ Aging, a program of SAGE, is the country's first and only technical
assistance resource center focused on improving the quality of services and
supports offered to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender older adults,
families and caregivers.
