As June marks the symbolic beginning of Pride Month, again we are reminded of the meaning of Pride. While we remember the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community, this year we stand together once again the face of racism and discrimination in all its forms. We unite with the Black community to stand together against racism and injustice. Every human deserves Equal Justice Under Law.
The United States Supreme Court
Mosaic has spent two decades supporting those celebrating marriage and love. We believe in everyone’s freedom to marry who they want, love who they want, and how they want, regardless of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. We speak up, uniting with those suffering right now, and we are taking action in many ways including conversation, donations, petition signing, and voting. As a platform that celebrates love and equality, we will not stay silent on racism and hate.
REMEMBERING MARSHA P. JOHNSON
As one of the most famous black and transgender activists, Marsha P. Johnson is remembered as a symbol for inclusivity and equal rights. She was one of the first to demonstrate after the Stonewall Inn was raided in 1969. Her efforts, over 50 years ago, impacted the lives of people without basic human rights. This June marks the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots, a revolution for gay rights and the rights of all human beings.
