SSTAR Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (What is Pride Month)
Introduction
Welcome to the SSTAR Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee page, created by Furstenberg Michael Dr. As a trusted provider of dental services, we believe strongly in promoting diversity and inclusivity in all aspects of our practice. In this article, we will explore the significance of Pride Month, its importance to our community, and how we actively support and celebrate diversity.
Pride Month: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Identity
Pride Month is an annual celebration that takes place in June. It honors the LGBTQ+ community, their history, and their rights. It is a time when people come together to amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals, raise awareness for their struggles, and celebrate their accomplishments. Pride Month serves as a reminder of the progress made in the fight for equality, while also acknowledging that there is still work to be done.
The Significance of Pride Month
Pride Month holds immense significance for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies. It originated from the Stonewall Riots that occurred in June 1969 when members of the LGBTQ+ community fought back against police discrimination at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. These events marked a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, sparking a wave of activism and advocacy.
Today, Pride Month symbolizes a time of visibility, acceptance, and celebration. It is an opportunity for LGBTQ+ individuals to embrace their identities, express their love, and stand in solidarity with others who face similar challenges. Pride parades, events, and activities foster a sense of belonging, promote inclusivity, and help educate communities about the LGBTQ+ experience.
Why Pride Month Matters to Us
As a dental practice committed to providing exceptional care to every individual, including those in the LGBTQ+ community, we recognize the importance of Pride Month. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and kindness, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
At Furstenberg Michael Dr, we strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all our patients. Our team undergoes sensitivity training to ensure they are knowledgeable about the unique oral health needs and challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals may face. By understanding their specific concerns, we can better tailor our services to meet their needs.
