![]() Henry Ford College hosted a series of events in April in honor of Campus Pride Month (Campus Pride Month is designated nationally in April, because most campuses have more students in April than in June). Memorials are held during this month for members of the community who have died from AIDS or due to hate crimes. Pride Month observations often include parades, concerts, picnics, workshops, and social events. The Pride Month celebration began in 1970 in Chicago on the final Sunday in June. It aims to increase understanding of and reduce violence toward LGBTQ people. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month recognizes the impact that LGBTQ individuals have had on equality and civil rights locally, nationally, and globally. Our community and our country are commemorating Pride Month during June, as we do every year. This message is part of a series that aims to raise our community’s awareness of major holidays, including cultural, historic, and religious observances throughout the year.
