\u201cLGBTQ History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions LGBTQ Americans have made throughout our nation\u2019s history. From science and civil rights to art and athletics, LGBTQ Americans have pioneered progress across our society and moved our nation closer to fulfilling its founding promise of equality for all people \u2013 no matter who they love or how they identify.<\/p>\n
