More on this soon. Happy PRIDE Month! We send heartfelt wishes to all of our LGBTQ+ members and friends. It’s taken a long time to get here, speaking of radical change, but through the courage of all who “came out” when it was partic- ularly risky to do so, we are in a whole new world in terms of freedom to express one’s sexuality and gender in most countries throughout the globe. Happy Juneteenth! A worthy celebration, and a reminder that so much more needs to be done to create true equity. May your Solstice season be sweet! We value your support and membership.
