Pride Month - HWBT Hate Won't Be Tolerated Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

Let’s talk about Pride Month.
Pride Month is a month, typically in June, dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) pride. Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread outside of the United States. Modern-day Pride Month both honors the movement for LGBTQ rights and celebrates LGBTQ culture. The concept of Pride Month began with the Stonewall riots, a series of riots for gay liberation that took place beginning on June 28, 1969. The riots began after a police raid at the Stonewall Inn a gay bar located within Lower Manhattan in New York City. Activists Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Storme DeLarverie are credited for inciting the riots, though Johnson disputes her involvement. (Wikipedia)

Law & Order: Mass Shootings Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Just my two cents, point blank. No pun intended. xoxo
A mass shooting is an incident of targeted violence carried out by one or more shooters at one or more public or populated locations. Multiple victims (both injuries and fatalities) are associated with the attack, and both the victims and location(s) are chosen either at random or for their symbolic value. The event occurs within a single 24-hour period, though most attacks typically last only a few minutes. The motivation of the shooting must not correlate with gang violence or targeted militant or terroristic activity. * (2022 The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government)
