Gay pride gurt

VIDEO REPLAY

Since the United States has celebrated the month of June by supporting, acknowledging and raising insight for the LGBTQ+ group. Known as Pride Month, June was chosen to honor the June of Stonewall Uprising in Modern York City, which served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement in the U.S. and also throughout the world.

The FCS Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee continued to honor this movement with a live virtual forum that brought together four industry professionals who name as members in the LGBTQ+ community. During our event, they each joint their experiences, advice and hopes for the future.
