McHenry County NOW is proud to support and celebrate Pride Month 2025.
Pride Month, celebrated in June, is an annual observance dedicated to celebrating and honoring the LGBTQ+ community. It commemorates the Stonewall Uprising, a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community in 1969 against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. The month serves as a time to recognize the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals, promote equality, and advocate for their rights.
