It's June and it's time to celebrate Gay Pride Month! There are celebrations all around the United States including Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Why is Gay Pride in June? Well, it all has to do with some incredibly brave individuals in New York City who stood up for themselves (and indirectly for all of us) in June of 1969. The Stonewall Riots were the most important tuning point in the the fight for gay rights. I am hoping to post something a couple of times a week as my contribution to gay pride.
