MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim June 2020, as Gay Pride Month in the State of New York.
AI Summary
This Resolution urges Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to officially declare June 2020 as Gay Pride Month in New York State, recognizing the ongoing fight for the rights, freedoms, and equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal moment where LGBTQ individuals protested police harassment and discrimination, which led to the formation of LGBTQ rights organizations and the first gay pride marches in 1970. It also commemorates various legal and social advancements for the LGBTQ community in New York and nationwide, such as the Marriage Equality Act, the inclusion of LGBTQ individuals in military policy, and the designation of the Stonewall National Monument, while also acknowledging the contributions and losses of prominent LGBTQ activists and artists.
