This Pride Month, the SBA Celebrates the LGBTQ+ Small Business Community
Pride Month is a celebration of many things ? equality, empowerment, and solidarity among them. From the day the nation?s first Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) rights organization opened in 1924 to the moment Equator Coffees became the first LGBTQ+ owned business to be recognized as the SBA?s Small Business of the Year in 2016 ? and every day since ? these values have served as a driving force on the road to progress and unity. As America continues its embrace of diversity and inclusion, the SBA stands ready to support LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs this June and beyond.
