同志骄傲月
Salem State University holds Pride Month annually in October, celebrating gender and sexual diversity on campus and lesbian, 同性恋, 双性恋, 变性人*, 酷儿, 双性, 以及无性恋(LGBTQIA+)学生, 教师, 和工作人员. This time also honors the histories and contributions of LGBTQIA+ peoples world-wide. While we also recognize National LGBTQ+ Pride Month in June, we hold this celebration in October during global LGBT 历史 Month to celebrate during the academic year.
In 1994, 罗德尼·威尔逊, 密苏里州的一名高中教师, believed a month should be dedicated to the celebration and teaching of 同性恋 and lesbian history, and gathered other teachers and community leaders. They selected October because public schools are in session and existing traditions, 如“出柜日”(10月11日), 发生在那个月. Gay and Lesbian 历史 Month was endorsed by GLAAD, 人权运动, 全国男女同性恋特别工作组, 全国教育协会, 以及其他全国性组织. In 2006 Equality Forum assumed responsibility for providing content, 促销活动, 以及LGBT历史月的资源.
