Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is
                                            currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969
                                            Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a catalyst
                                            for the modern day worldwide gay rights movement.
                                             In the United States the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as
                                             "Gay Pride Day," but the "day" soon grew to encompass a month-long
                                             series of events. Today, LGBTQ Pride celebrations include pride parades,
                                             picnics, parties, workshops, festivals and memorials for those in our
community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to
recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally,
and internationally. The LGBTQ Employee Alliance (LGBTQ-EA) would like to invite its members and allies to
participate in this year’s Pride events, which include:
   June 11: Pride Night with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field when they take on the Los Angeles Angels.
   June 14 – July 2: LGBTQ Pride Flags display in the City Hall Atrium. The display will feature the Rainbow Pride
    Flag, generally considered the most recognizable symbol of Pride. However, you’ll learn that there are more
    than 20 LGBTQ Pride Flags that represent different identities within the
    broader queer community.
   June 17: LGBTQ Film Discussion Double Feature: Love the Sinner and After
    Stonewall. Register in eCHRIS for this virtual event using Course Number:
    LGBT12. Diversity credit earned with attendance.
   June 23: LGBTQ–EA Membership Meeting at noon.

                                              Support the Suns

                       To support the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Playoffs, City Manager Ed Zuercher has invited city
                       employees to dress in Suns’ gear and colors on game days. The official team colors are
                       purple, orange, black, gray, and yellow – so you have a lot of options to show hometown
                       pride.
                       Please check with your supervisor first to make sure it’s appropriate for your work situation.
                       Any city employee who normally wears a uniform should continue to do so.
