Resources
Despite progress in the Pride movement since the Stonewall Riots of 1969 which ignited an empowered resistance, the LGBTQIA+ community continues to experience societal challenges, discrimination, and a lack of representation. This can lead to feelings of isolation and the need for stronger support networks within the community.
