Campus Pride celebrates LGBTQ History Month and spotlights up-and-coming LGBTQ voices

Happy LGBTQ History Month from Campus Pride!

Campus Pride wishes you a happy LGBTQ History Month! We will be highlighting diverse voices of contemporary and up-and-coming LGBTQ trailblazers throughout the month of October. Do you have someone you want to see featured? Email us at info@campuspride.org or message us on Instagram or Twitter @campuspride.

Highlighting Lil Nas X

For the beginning of October, we are highlighting Black queer musical artist Lil Nas X. Lil Nas X’s debut album “Montero” was released on September 17, 2021. Lil Nas X is a role model for young Black queer boys who see positive Black LGBTQ representation in artists like Lil Nas X. To donate to the Montero and Gilead COMPASS Initiative for HIV/AIDS, go to welcometomontero.com/babyregistry. Read more about Lil Nas X and our intern’s open letter to “Montero” on the Campus Pride blog.
