Gay and Lesbian Pride Month June 5: World Environment Day June 19, 1865: Juneteenth
JUNE Gay and Lesbian Pride Month Cities all over the world hold Gay Pride festivities on different dates in the month of June. Many cities choose the weekend closest to June 27-29 so that the celebration will coincide with the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. The Stonewall Rebellion of June 28, 1969 in New York City is widely recognized as the birthplace of the gay rights movement and is commemorated annually in gay communities around the world with pride parades and festivals. June 5: World Environment Day By resolution 2994 (XXVII) of December 15, 1972, the General Assembly designated June 5 as World Environment Day, to deepen public awareness of the need to preserve and enhance the environment. That date was chosen because it was the opening day of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm1972), which led to the establishment of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Twenty years later, the Assembly convened UNCED in Rio de Janeiro, where nations came together to take the decisions needed to rekindle the hopes of the 1972 Conference and to take up the challenges of a viable and equitable balance between environment and development and a sustainable future for the earth and its people. June 19, 1865: Juneteenth In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared freedom for all slaves, but the end of slavery was a slow and localized process because communications weren't what they are today, and in many areas, there weren't enough Union troops present to enforce it. Such was the case in Galveston, Texas. Not until June 19, 1865, did Union soldiers land with news that the war had ended and that all slaves were now free. -

(Dis)Ability Borderlands, Embodied Rhetorical Agency, and Adhd Methods of Madness
ABSTRACT (DIS)ABILITY BORDERLANDS, EMBODIED RHETORICAL AGENCY, AND ADHD METHODS OF MADNESS by Kaydra Nicole Bui In this thesis, I advocate for access and rhetorical agency for academics with in/visible (dis)abilities. This is also to say that my work is self-advocacy as I negotiate my positionality within academic ableism as a marginalized person with (dis)abilities. I take an intersectional and interdependent approach to (dis)ability justice and embodied rhetorics, dialoguing with borderland theory, critical race theory, feminist, and decolonial scholarship. Ultimately, I hope to model an ADHD/neuroqueer form of writing that allows me to discover the rhetorical strengths I and other neuroqueer writers have to offer while reimagining access in discursive sites of power such as the composition classroom, (dis)ability disclosure, and Student Disability Services.

The Marijuana Holiday 4/20 Has Become Big Business, but Is That
B U S I NC EA SN SN A B I S The Marijuana Holiday 4/20 Has Become Big Business, But Is That Good For The Cannabis Movement? B J Y O E L @ O N W A RJN E OR E L M W A R N E R 0 4 / 2 0 / 1 6 A T 4 : 2 0 A M Heavy snow in Colorado this past weekend put a damper on the celebrations leading up to 4/20, the annual April 20 celebration of all things marijuana-related that occurs on Wednesday this year. On Saturday, organizers scrapped a major cannabis rally in downtown Denver at the last minute, and hundreds of flight cancellations at Denver International Airport frustrated the plans of travelers aiming to spend the week sampling the state’s legal cannabis market in honor of the cannabis high holiday. But that didn’t mean folks weren’t still ready to pre-party. On Saturday afternoon, customers lined up in the lobby of Simply Pure, a Denver recreational marijuana shop, since the shop’s “4/20 Block Party” product specials (one-gram joints for $4.20 and other deals) had filled the retail space to capacity. As customers from as far away as Washington, D.C., sniffed at sample jars filled with cannabis strains, a sales representative from Incredibles, a marijuana edibles company, manned a nearby display table, handing out branded pens and lighters and promoting the virtues of the company’s spiked chocolate bars. “It’s great if you drop it into your coffee,” he told a prospective customer. -
June 2017 (PDF)
Medical Interpreting Services CulturalCultural NewsNews Volume 15, Issue 6 June 2017 June is Lesbian and Gay Pride Month Gay pride or LGBT pride refers to a world wide movement and philosophy asserting that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity. Gay pride advocates work for equal “rights and benefits” for LGBT people. The movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity, that sexual diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered. In June of 2000, Bill Clinton deemed the month of June, “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.” The month was chosen to remember a riot in 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan that is thought to be the beginning of the gay liberation movement in the United States. June is now the month of acceptance and the month to welcome diversity in communities regardless of sexual orientation. Gay and lesbian groups celebrate this special time with pride parades, picnics, parties, memorials for those lost from HIV and AIDS, and other JUNE 2017 CALENDAR group gathering events that attract thousands upon thousands of individuals. This month is meant to recognize the impact Gay, Lesbian and Transgender individuals have had on CARIBBEAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH the world.

Summer's Over and It's Finally Cooling Off Here in Palm Springs! Friday Will
Summer’s over and it’s finally cooling off here in Palm Springs! Friday will be an arctic 85 degrees. Brrrrr—time to get out the sweaters! Fall can be a stressful time for all of us. The hazards are everywhere: thousand-calorie pumpkin-themed drinks; trays of Halloween candy everywhere you turn; too many invitations to too many events; and of course holiday shopping looming on the horizon like a taskmaster with a whip! Given these threats to your sanity, it’s best to take a deep breath, sit back, and catch the BUZZ into town. There’s no more relaxing—or festive, or inexpensive, or environmentally- friendly—way to shop, dine, and revel in desert pleasures. For day-to-day BUZZ updates, remember to follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/buzzps You got this eMail because you’re on our subscriber list. If you don’t want to get future eMails, no problem—just click the Unsubscribe link below. It’s easy! NEWS We’re getting into that time of year when all of the news is about holidays and special events! Halloween We wept bitter, hot (pink) tears when we looked at the calendar and realized Halloween doesn’t fall on a BUZZday this year. Can you believe it’s on a Tuesday? What a crime! Is there any lamer day of the week for the ghoulishly sexiness of Halloween? This having been said… Of course there’ll be plenty of costume parties and other naughty nocturnal affairs during the weekend prior. And of course many of these events will be supplied with spiked punch and other mind-buzzing concoctions. -
