Pride Month celebrates the LGBTQ community, many of whom have struggled to love themselves and feel loved through and after the “coming out” process,” said Dr. Saunders, a child psychologist at the IOL, part of the Hartford HealthCare Behavioral Health Network and clinical coordinator of The Right Track/LGBTQ Specialty Track. “We celebrate these months because it helps us remember and move forward, encouraging people to live lives of integrity and without shame,” she said, noting that the month commemorates the June 1969 Stonewall Riots protesting harassment at a New York City bar. “It started a movement. It’s a beautiful thing because so many people have been persecuted and suffered just for the people they love and how they identify.”
