LGBTQIA+ & Queer Owned Businesses (2024)
Happy Pride Month!
❤️🧡💛💙💚💜🖤🤍🤎
June has been deemed Pride Month because of the police raid that started the Stonewall riots on June 28 1969 at Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. This was a spot where people in the queer & LGBT community would spend their time, unapologetically.
Many cities around the world now celebrate with parties, concerts, parades, and more!
