Celebrate Pride Month 2025
Pride Month, celebrated every June, honors the legacy of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan — a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ activism and the movement for equal rights in the United States. This month is dedicated to recognizing the resilience, progress, and achievements of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning community in the ongoing pursuit of equality, inclusion, and justice.
Gonzaga University, the first Jesuit higher education institution to establish a dedicated resource center for LGBTQ+ students, remains committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions. Through education, advocacy, outreach, and programming, we continue to support and uplift our LGBTQ+ community. Join us as we celebrate Pride Month!
