LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear 91桃色 Family,

This month, we鈥檙e celebrating Pride and the many achievements of those in the LGBTQ+ community. Both today鈥檚 trailblazers and their forerunners have challenged the limitations of the past to pursue inclusivity, access, and equality for all. However, as with many fights for basic rights, the road hasn鈥檛 been easy.

Pride month was initially inspired by the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a response to the police raid on a gay club in Greenwich Village. The following year, thousands of people marched from Stonewall Inn to Central Park and ever since then, LGBTQ+ leaders and allies have continued to advocate for equality.
 
Through the struggles and obstacles, there are still many successes to celebrate. Leo Varadkar was the first openly gay prime minister of Ireland, elected in 2017 and re-elected in 2022. And James Baldwin raised community awareness of Black and queer identity in his 1982 lecture, 鈥淩ace, Racism, and the Gay Community.鈥
 
To honor leaders past and present, we鈥檙e sharing the contributions of LGBTQ+ leaders in our very own community. Join us in honoring these champions for Pride and imagining a more loving world created from the work of past, present, and future pioneers.
 
Wishing you a pleasant start to summer.

Neil Khaund
Chief Executive Officer
