Pride Month

Pride Month

This Pride Month, recognize the historical and current contributions of LGBTQ+ people and communities.

At a time when LGBTQ+ people, particularly trans and queer communities, are experiencing a challenging national climate shaped by ongoing public debate, legislative and legal battles, and concerns about discrimination and safety, Pride Month remains both a celebration of community and a reaffirmation of dignity, visibility, and equal treatment for all people.

Celebration as resistance

On June 28, 1970, the first Pride marches commemorated the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, in which LGBTQ+ patrons of the Stonewall Inn, including key leaders such as Stormé DeLarverie, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera, fought against police brutality and state violence, issues that continue to shape conversations about equality, safety, and civil rights today. These marches brought LGBTQ+ communities together to demonstrate for equal rights and continue fighting against discrimination. In the face of institutional barriers and ongoing challenges affecting queer and trans communities, Pride was, and still is, resistance through visibility, joy, and celebration.

Gender Inclusive Restrooms Map

Serving the needs of all members of our community

Gender Inclusive Restroom Conversion Process: Any UC Berkeley community member is welcome to submit a request for a gender inclusive restroom conversion. The form is designed to be a starting point to explore feasibility and options for conversion and does not require complete information. 

Submissions are encouraged even if only basic details (such as a location) are available. Requests are then reviewed through a Facilities Services process that includes feasibility assessment, scope development, approval, and project implementation in coordination with campus partners.
