Lambda Legal Celebrates Pride Month with Nationwide Events, Honoring 50 Years of LGBTQ+ Advocacy and Advancing Legal Rights

Lambda Legal, the renowned organization dedicated to advancing legal rights for the LGBTQ+ community, is gearing up to celebrate Pride Month with a series of exciting events and activities across the country. With a steadfast commitment to diversity, resilience, and equality, Lambda Legal aims to honor its 50-year history of advocacy while looking ahead to a future of continued progress.

Kevin Jennings, CEO of Lambda Legal, emphasizes the significance of Pride Month, stating, "Pride Month is a reminder of our unprecedented past, unwavering present, and unstoppable future." He expresses excitement about the events planned throughout June, which will unite allies and supporters nationwide to amplify the fight for justice and equality. Lambda Legal's steadfast presence since its establishment in 1973 ensures that discrimination is confronted and the LGBTQ+ community, along with individuals living with HIV, are fiercely advocated for.

Lambda Legal's participation in local pride events will serve as a platform to inform, motivate, and inspire attendees. They will showcase ongoing case work, combating discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals. Booth sponsorships and selfie stations at certain locations will enable Pride march and festival attendees to engage with Lambda Legal's mission. Social media will play a crucial role through the use of the hashtag #UnstoppablePride. Lambda Legal has also partnered with NASCAR driver Zach Herrin, representing the resilience and determination of the LGBTQ+ community. Some locations will even feature a Lambda Legal parade contingent, including Herrin's actual race car.

As Lambda Legal commemorates the Stonewall uprising of 1969 and reflects on its own journey over the past 50 years, the organization recognizes the power of community and the importance of unity in the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. Throughout Pride Month, Lambda Legal will collaborate with allies and community organizations in various cities nationwide. Their involvement will encompass parades, events, educational forums, and amplification of LGBTQ+ voices and those living with HIV.
