October LGBTQIA+ Observances
Hi friends!
Welcome to October. It’s LGBTQIA+ History Month in the US. What events stand out in your mind?For me I was in undergrad when marriage equality was making its way through court systems across the country. I remember working at a summer camp in Texas when Obergefell v. Hodges was decided on 6/26/2015 and literally bursting into tears of joy when one of the other counselors told me. Thankfully I was able to have lunch off-site that day and I was staring at my phone the whole time reading and seeing everyone’s celebrations. I would love to hear other’s stories of landmark cases or events that stand out to you.Other October dates to celebrate are:
- 10/8 – International Lesbian Day
- 10/11 – National Coming Out Day – https://www.hrc.org/resources/national-coming-out-day
- 10/19 – International Pronoun Day – https://pronounsday.org/
- 10/20 – Spirit Day (WEAR PURPLE) – https://www.glaad.org/spiritday
- 10/23-29 – Asexual Awareness Week – https://aceweek.org/
