“This month I think of as a celebration, as time for us to just be happy and to live. But I always think about the work afterwards and how long it’s going to take, and I think that’s not only up to the LGBTQAI youth and LGBTQAI+ individuals, but it’s up to our allies, too.” — Michaela Jaé Rodriguez

June is 2SLGBTQIA+ Pride Month but the celebration and education does not have to be restricted to one month. Please find some resources below on ways that you can support and connect with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community every month of the year.
