    I think LGBT month is important because it calls attention to the fight for equal rights and treatment for LGBT people. They're fighting the same fight black people fought, which is the same fight that women fought, which is the same fight Native Americans, Irish-Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian-Americans fought, etc. In almost all of those fights, the end result was success through (relative) equality. I think this fight will result in the same solution, but not without support and awareness in the non-LGBT community, which observances like this assist. – U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Stephen Ellis, 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs broadcast journalist

    For the last five years, the Department of Defense observes Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month in June each year. We asked 13 Kaiserslautern Military Community Members “Why is celebrating LGBT Pride important to you?”
