In honor of the Stonewall Uprising — a series of spontaneous riots that sparked the gay rights movement in the US — we celebrate LGBTQI+ Pride Month each June. As we continue to work toward a more inclusive future, this is also an opportunity to recognize the intersectionality and allyship between the LGBTQI+ and BIPOC communities.

Want to join us? Together with Queer@Favor — an employee resource group dedicated to celebrating LGBTQI+ culture and building bridges between its members and allies — we’ve created the Support Queer Resource Guide. Here you’ll find a comprehensive list of ways to support LGBTQI+ communities across Texas, during Pride Month and all year long.

We encourage you to add to this list by commenting below!
