Pride at LCC - Lansing Community College

Join us this month as we celebrate the diversity, triumphs and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. Pride takes place in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall uprising in Manhattan. We are joining colleges and organizations around the country in this commemorative celebration to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals and their allies have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
