Make sure to attend the Portsmouth Pride Festival and Parade! See: http://www.seacoastoutright.org/portsmouth-pride-2018
The month of June was chosen for LGBTQ Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. Many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact of LGBTQ people in the world and to support their ongoing fight for equality and equity.
