All UCOP staff are invited to join in celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride month with delicious ice cream treats provided by the UCOP Pride affinity group. President Napolitano will attend and speak briefly in honor of the event.

Celebrated each June, LGBTQ Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots, which started at New York City’s Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969. The riots followed a police raid, a common occurrence for gay-patronized establishments at the time. The violent protest that night sparked several days of battles with police that ignited the modern struggle for LGBTQ rights worldwide.

UCOP Pride is dedicated to providing advocacy, education and community building for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex community within UCOP and beyond.
