By Chris Williams
Every June, the LGBTQ+ community and allies celebrate what has become
President Joe Biden has officially declared June 2021 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month on Tuesday after signing a proclamation.
The recognition of June as Pride Month by several U.S. presidents has grown throughout the past few decades to acknowledge and include more members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride Month, which is now celebrated by LGBTQ+ communities and allies all over the world, stems from the tragedy of the Stonewall Riots in June 1969.
