Pride Month – An Equal Chance at a Smokefree Life 

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated annually in June as a tribute to those involved in the Stonewall Riots; to recognize the impact LGBTQ Americans have had on society; and to advance civil rights, justice, and equitable opportunity for LGBTQ people. This includes equitable health opportunities, like comprehensive smokefree protections for LGBTQ communities. LGBTQ people deserve equitable health opportunities as well, like being smokefree and having smokefree protections.  Just like Ellie, all LGBTQ people deserve to live and work in smokefree environments to protect their health.
