Celebrate Pride Month!
Pride Month is traditionally celebrated in June each year in observation of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, a tipping point in the national conversation around LGBTQ+ activism and the Gay Rights Liberation Movement in the United States. In the month of June we recognize the achievements of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community in the pursuit of equality, inclusion and justice for LGBTQ+ Americans.
杏吧原创 is proud to support its LGBTQ+ community, striving to be a safe and welcoming environment for all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions by engaging in education, advocacy, outreach and programming. We invite you to celebrate Pride Month!

The Tyler Clementi Foundation has an anti-bullying statement that bishops, Catholic religious orders, schools and organizations have signed, including the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. It speaks to the dignity of LGBTQ+ people and their right to be free from bullying.
