RACINE COUNTY— Happy Pride Month!
In June 2023, the Racine community, along with people across the nation will celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. This month-long celebration began in 1969 after the Stonewall Riots sparked progress with the gay rights movement.
This month is a period dedicated to celebrating all identities, without questioning, judging or casting hate.

Numerous events are happening locally as a way to demonstrate pride while accepting all community members for who they are.
