Happy Pride Month

Happy Pride, Tribunes! Pride Month is honored each year in June and many people associate this visibility month with the Stonewall Uprising, which took place at the end of June in 1969, and which signified a major turning point for the LGBTQ+ movement in the United States. Governor Hochul’s recent announcement that all SUNY campuses will update their policies regarding the use of a chosen name and pronouns to ensure that transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary students' identities are fully reflected and represented on campuses was an important step forward in the promotion of more inclusive college campus environments. To piggyback off of this announcement, the Counseling Center and Disability Services office is sharing a few helpful resources, below:

  • The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ young people 24/7, year round, via phone at 866-488-7386 or via online chat.
  • The Gender Wellness Center offers an educational word/term glossary.
  • Campus Pride is a national student-led organization that offers the Campus Pride Index and other helpful resources.
  • National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) shares information about intersectionality and important risk factors of LGBTQI mental health.
