Why This Celebration Matters
Lighting a public monument in rainbow colors is more than just a visual spectacle; it is a statement of solidarity. By illuminating the Star on the Mountain, El Paso sends a clear message: everyone is welcome, valued, and loved, regardless of who they are or whom they love.
Pride Month is a global movement that commemorates the struggle for civil rights and celebrates the progress made toward equality. For those looking to learn more about the history and ongoing efforts for LGBTQIA+ rights, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) provides extensive resources on advocacy and inclusion.
Whether you are a local resident or visiting the Sun City, we encourage everyone to look up at the mountain this June and reflect on the beauty of diversity that makes our society stronger.
