骄傲 Month — the annual celebration of the 同性恋群体IA2s+ community — is a commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising in 1969 — a turning point in outlawing discriminatory laws and practices and the beginning of the gay rights movement. The Uprising was a response to a police raid of the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969, inciting a six-day protest against police harassment and persecution of the community.
通过游行, 游行, 和集会, 骄傲 Month now raises awareness about equal justice and opportunity for members of the 同性恋群体IA2S+ community.
在雷德兰兹的骄傲月, 这所大学悬挂骄傲旗, and the University’s Memorial Chapel pillars are illuminated in rainbow colors in celebration of 骄傲.
与工作人员和大威尼斯人平台长克里斯塔·纽柯克(她/她)合作, Iyan Barrera-Sandri(他/他, 更喜欢被称为Iyan), 威尼斯人平台员工大会(URSA)主席, 共同努力在大学旗杆上悬挂骄傲旗. This was the first year for the 骄傲 flag to be flown on the main University flag pole.
由威尼斯人平台学生联合会(ASUR)于2019年购买, the 骄傲 Celebration Recognition Lights were renamed to “Colors of Love” in honor of Will Wright ‘22, 谁在2020年11月去世了. Active in LUST (听ing and Understanding Sexuality Together) and the U of R 骄傲的中心, 威尔是大学里受人爱戴的一员.
校园之声
由校园多样性和包容性(CDI)监督, the U of R 骄傲的中心 aims to create a safe space for people identifying in the 同性恋群体IA2S+ community and provides allies resources to learn more about queer identity and culture. The 骄傲的中心 also hosts student meetings, speakers, community events, and discussion groups.
女性, 性别, and Sexuality Studies Professor Addie Davidove (he/they) is the 骄傲的中心 consultant and is responsible for strengthening and expanding resources for the center.
“骄傲 to me is not limited to only this month, but something that exists year-round. 对我来说, 庆祝骄傲意味着活出我的真实,大卫多夫说, 谁希望“通过这个角色”, 我可以为同性恋群体IA2S+员工提供支持, 教师, and allies on our campus to encour年龄 ongoing growth in our campus culture to be affirming to our 同性恋群体IA2S+ Bulldogs.”
He 相信 people can support 同性恋群体IA2S+ members by educating themselves on allyship and having mindful interactions and conversations.
利兹·马丁内斯-冈萨雷斯25岁(她/他们), 骄傲中心的实习生和公共政策专业是女性吗, 性别, 未成年性行为. “我最大的支持者是我的朋友和哥哥. 我永远不会因为不符合拉丁裔的正常刻板印象而感到羞耻. 我是同性恋，我很自豪能展示我的本色.莉兹变得更加自信，觉得自己不再需要隐藏了. 莉兹相信人们可以给予支持 by “being respectful of people’s pronouns and by not assuming their sexuality or 性别 identity by the way they present themselves.”
Ari Lopez’24(他/他们), 主修心理学，辅修英语和妇女与性别研究, 相信, “骄傲是记住我们的历史和我们来自哪里的时刻. 在很长一段时间里，我都相信通史. 我们存在过，但是悄无声息. It was not until I took “Queer Cultures and Identity” and “Queer Theories” at the U of R that I began to see the complexity and depth of our history. 然而，经历了我们所有的高潮和低谷, 酷儿人群在我们的社区中继续存在和繁荣. 我们继续为我们周围的不公正现象大声疾呼. 能成为这个社区的一员，我感到无比自豪.”
Davidove说, “我想分享的最后一个想法是希望, 尤其是直接与其他酷儿和跨性别人群交谈. The history of 骄傲 started as an act of resistance in response to the systemic injustice 同性恋群体IA2S+ folks face. 因为我们看到反lgbtq法律和倡议的复苏, 我想邀请/鼓励抵抗和关怀. 抵抗可以有多种形式, 但有一种形式值得强调，那就是作为一种抵抗行为的快乐.”
“拥抱, 庆祝, and embodying 快乐 can both be a direct response to injustice and a restorative practice. 此外，六月是照顾自己和社区的好时机. 你可以问问自己——你是如何为自己/你的社区表现的? 你是如何为你的盟友社区服务的? This month is a chance to both reflect on how we do this and then put it into action. 对于我的酷儿和跨性别家庭，我对你们充满了爱和感激. 要知道你并不孤单, 你是个好人, 世界因为有你而更美好, 你是值得庆祝的.”

牛头犬博客:你如何庆祝骄傲，它对你意味着什么?
艾莉森·弗莱伯格:也许这听起来很奇怪, but my way of 庆祝 pride at this point in my life is to come out or be out as many days of the year as possible. 我在商业与社会学院组织国际游学活动, 我在夏天为雷德兰兹的校友和公众组织意大利葡萄酒之旅, 所以对我来说，在这些时候开诚布公是很重要的. Society changes for the better when people can be together honestly and without fear. 这就是骄傲对我的意义.
BB: What are some ways people can better support the 同性恋群体IA2S+ community or be a supportive ally?
答:对我来说，成为一个支持你的盟友很简单:(1) 听 to my answers when you ask me questions; and (2) 相信 me when I tell you about my experiences; and (3) 认为 关于你在世界上的行动不受性别威胁的方式, 性别, 或性.
你在同性恋群体IA2S+群体中有什么榜样吗? 如果有，是谁，为什么?
答:我没有一个具体的榜样. What I do think about often are the shoulders of all the queer people I'm standing on. 我知道，由于所有的工作，有些事情我可以认为是理所当然的, 快乐, 痛苦来到我面前. 人们努力让我的生活轻松一点. I hope I have been able to provide shoulders for generations after me to stand upon.

牛头犬博客:你如何庆祝骄傲，它对你意味着什么?
Wendy McIntyreI celebrate pride month by going to events (going to Palm Springs ... 尽管他们直到11月才庆祝骄傲. 我觉得棕榈泉一直都是骄傲月, 穿上我骄傲的颜色，我的三条狗也穿上它们的颜色, 对所有人说"骄傲快乐. 骄傲 month means 庆祝 our legacy and those who came before me that had to be silent and/or were persecuted by being 同性恋群体IA2S+. It is also about 庆祝 the US in all of our dimensions, identities, and expressions.
BB: What are some ways people can better support the 同性恋群体IA2S+ community or be a supportive ally?
There are countless ways to support the community; by always being inviting to those in the community, 为社区里的人举办活动, 如果有人愿意分享他们的，请使用适当的代词, 我自己也出去了. As for being an ally, I think combating poor treatment of 同性恋群体IA2S+ is very important. 介入 在此刻 when one of your 同性恋群体IA2S+ friends (or someone you 不 even know) is being treated poorly is very effective. 我认为那些认为自己是最支持别人的人 不 捍卫我们的社区，这就是成为我真正的盟友的意义.
你在同性恋群体IA2S+群体中有什么榜样吗? 如果有，是谁，为什么?
男:我有很多榜样! My little brother who came out in the late 80's in a small town in Idaho (where I grew up) is my top role model. He was and is brave beyond belief and I've always looked up to him as my role model.
I think Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova are among my top role models (both tennis players who came out when it was NOT easy to do). 我不打网球, 但我喜欢支持, 我永远不会忘记他们因为出柜而受到的对待. They were so brave and pushed the envelope in ways that make it easier for us to be out today. 我们永远不应该忘记那些铺平道路的人. Others would be the people that "started it all" in Stonewall and refused to let themselves be badgered. 我喜欢石墙暴动是由变装皇后发起的!
你还有什么想分享的吗?
WM:我想补充的是，我很高兴你邀请我加入博客. I'm so fortunate to work at UOR where I can be out and feel respected and supported in every way!
