Pride Month is recognized in June to celebrate and commemorate pride for members of the LGBTQ+ community, including those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, by amplifying their voices and supporting LGBTQ+ rights. Figure skating is strengthened when all individuals can show up as their authentic selves and share in the joy of skating. We believe that #SkatingIsForEveryone.
