Pride Month has a rich, political background that amplified itself after The Stonewall Riots — named after a gay bar called the Stonewall Inn where members of the LGBTQ2+ community (particularly those of color) — fought back against police harassment in Greenwich, NY in June of 1969.

Not only is Pride a time to recognize the progress that’s been made since the Stonewall Riots, but it’s just as important to acknowledge how far we still must go as a society.

This Pride month, our Diversity Insights pillar will focus on how to be allies with the LGBTQ2+ community. We also reinforce our company's commitment to continue to build a workplace that celebrates all employees regardless of gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation, including taking the necessary measures towards officially establishing Six Degrees Medical as a Safe Place to LGBTQ2+ staff.
