Pride Month is an annual celebration of the many contributions made by the LGBTQ+ community to history, society, and cultures worldwide. In most places, Pride is celebrated throughout the month of June each year in commemoration of its roots in the Stonewall Riots of June 1969.
Family Services of NW PA celebrates the progress that the Pride Movement has made toward advancing LGBTQI+ equality. Please join us this month as we rededicate ourselves to combating discrimination, violence, and injustice against LGBTQI+ individuals in our communities.
