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.
