John,
As Pride Month comes to an end, today marks 52 years since the Stonewall Riots in New York City – a moment of resistance by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people against discrimination, police harassment and exploitation.
This uprising marked a significant turning point for sexual and gender diverse people, and to commemorate it we have not one, not two, but three things to share with you.
First up is a round-up of the progress made towards LGBTI+ equality in the past year – from Sudan's lifting of the death penalty as a punishment for gay sex, to Norway's promise to protect LGBTI+ refugees and more:

Finally, we are proud to be collaborating with other organizations to affirm some key feminist principles and their alignment with issues pertaining to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics. The best part is that you can get involved too! Read and sign the joint letter with us:
