Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in New York State, highlighting the historical significance and ongoing struggle for LGBTQIA+ rights. The resolution provides context through a detailed series of "whereas" clauses that trace key milestones in LGBTQIA+ history, including the 1969 Stonewall Riots, landmark Supreme Court decisions supporting marriage equality and workplace protections, and recent legislative achievements like New York's Trans Safe Haven legislation. It acknowledges pioneering LGBTQIA+ activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and notes important progress such as the first national LGBTQIA+ rights monument, the first openly gay Cabinet member, and protections for transgender military service members. The resolution also recognizes ongoing challenges, including recent anti-trans legislation across the country, and emphasizes the importance of continuing to fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and equality. The document formally requests that Governor Hochul officially recognize June 2025 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to her office.
