Every June dawns Pride Month: our opportunity to honor and support the inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) people in our community. During this month, we encourage dialogue and promote understanding to help the LGBTQIA+ community, like other diverse communities, know that outdoor spaces are for them too.
