April is #CampusPrideMonth

Happy Campus Pride Month! June is Pride Month, but colleges and universities celebrate Campus Pride Month in April since their students leave campus during the summer months. Across the United States, LGBTQ college students and allies are planning events and showing their support for the LGBTQ community on their campuses.
