Hello, Contemporaries!
          
          You know it’s Pride Month, right? But did you know this: Brenda Howard, a bisexual activist, is credited with organizing the first Pride events in 1970 and is often called the "Mother of Pride" for her role in shaping the movement.
          
          Do you have any more information about that to share with us?
