Dear Colleagues,
Today marks the first day of Pride Month, a time to identify and celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQIA+ people, to reflect upon the histories of resilience in the face of persecution and violence perpetrated against queer communities, and to expand our knowledge of LGBTQIA+ issues.
