Welcome to our weekly news segment called the LGBTQ Rainbow Rundown of the week.

This episode airs 6-26-23

It's the last week of Pride Month! June is officially Pride Month for our LGBTQ Community, and although there are festivals celebrated throughout the year depending on where you are in the world, we celebrate June for being when the Stonewall Riots in NYC, became known for being the first recognition of our fight for rights and equality. There were events before, like the Black Cat in LA, but June is a time to come together in solidarity and we need to remember in 2023 that this started as a MARCH not a PARADE. Happy Pride to you all.
