While the Union team has held previous events in support of education, awareness and dialogue surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and history, this will be the team’s first LGBTQ+ event that will take place on the Terrace during the Madison community’s pride festivities.
With Out on the Terrace, the Wisconsin Union team aims to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. This pride event is also being held in acknowledgement of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, a historic and integral event in the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
“We are honored to join the Madison community in celebrating our LGBTQ+ community and in remembering the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising,” Wisconsin Union Annual Gifts Manager Dan Plummer said.
