Pride Month is celebrated in June each year to commemorate the uprising following police raiding the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969, which served as a pivotal moment for the LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Pride Month is a time for the LGBTQIA+ community to come together and celebrate their identities, recognize advancements that have been made and reflect on work that still needs to be done. Pride Month is also a wonderful opportunity for those questioning their identities to continue to learn more about them and for allies to reflect and learn about how they can offer support in effective ways.
The following is a listing of 11 resources and things to remember as you celebrate and support our LGBTQIA+ community during Pride Month.

Returning to campus my junior year, I began to explore all Binghamton has to offer. Now that my time as an undergraduate student is coming to an end, I wanted to share my personal list of things you can’t miss before graduation. From restaurants and walking trails to beautiful parks, here is a bucket list of things to do before beginning your next chapter.
