PrideVMC celebrates Pride Month

June 2, 2020
dvm360 Staff

This veterinary organization, founded by members of the LGBTQ+ community within the profession, is hosting several exciting virtual events in honor of this special month.

June 1 marked the beginning of Pride Month, a time when the LGBTQ+ community unites to celebrate themselves and to acknowledge the influence they have had on the world. PrideVMC, an organization founded to help create a voice for this community within veterinary medicine, is celebrating Pride Month in several ways, from recognizing LGBTQ+ veterinary professionals and sharing fun Pride facts on social media (@PrideVMC), to a number of virtual events that you can participate in:
