Mono County

🌈 June is Pride Month in Mono County 🌈

On June 2, the Mono County Board of Supervisors officially proclaimed June 2026 as Pride Month, recognizing and celebrating the contributions of Two-Spirit, Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Q***r, Intersex, Asexual, and other diverse identities that help make our communities stronger, more vibrant, and more welcoming.

Mono County is committed to fostering a community where all people are treated with dignity, respect, and inclusion, regardless of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, disability, or background. Pride Month serves as an opportunity to celebrate diversity, raise awareness, and continue important conversations about equality, acceptance, and belonging.

The Board of Supervisors also recognizes the efforts of Mono County Behavioral Health and its community partners, including Eastern Sierra Pride and Mountain Q***rs, for their work promoting awareness, support, and inclusion throughout the year.

This month, Mono County encourages residents to celebrate the diversity that strengthens Mono County and to recommit to building a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and welcome.

Happy Pride Month, Mono County! 🌈
