Pride Month is a time for celebrating diversity and the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) people. To help celebrate Pride Month and advocate for the LGBTQI+ community, we’ve compiled these social media posts and blogs from Miami University and our Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) collaborators:
Chicago Zoological Society – Pride at the Brookfield Zoo
Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden & Pride Day at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
Miami University – Pride Events
San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance
Wildlife Conservation Society – John Scott and Cassandra Paul: A Time for Real Change – John Scott, who is featured on this website, earned a Master of Arts (MA) in the biological sciences from Miami University through Project Dragonfly‘s Global Field Program while working full-time as a wild animal keeper at Bronx Zoo.
Project Dragonfly is resolved and engaged in dismantling the structures and forces of exclusion and oppression, particularly in our education systems and in the environmental and conservation movements.
