This uprising & riots that later continued were huge
moments in history. Not only did it inspire the US, it
inspired other countries to fight back too!
HERE ARE A FEW KEY MOMENTS:
1. In 1970, the first Gay Pride parade occurred in
New York City starting at the Stonewall Inn.
2. In 1978, the original design of the rainbow gay
pride flag was created and displayed during the San
Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade. You can thank
Gilbert Baker for his design of the flag.
3. In 1981, there was the first Pride march in history
in Paris, France.
4. In 2006, Rio, Brazil, broke the record for the
biggest pride march. There were 2.5 million who at
tended the march.
5. In 2017, the first same sex marriage occurred in
Sydney, Australia.
Due to COVID-19 last year, people were not able to
fully celebrate all the normal activities and instead
people participated in virtual parties.
With this year looking better and some people being
vaccinated, events in the US are occured and people
were able to celebrate pride. . NYC's theme for pride
this year is "The Fight Continues." This weekend the
activities in NYC are a rally, a hour long concert
featuring Miley Cyrus, a run, street fair, and a pride
march.
Hopefully next year will be even better and more
things will continue to get better for the LGBTQ+
community.

LIFESTYLE
Warmer weather and longer days are finally
here. We wanted to share 5 fun things to do
during the summer season.
5 T H I N G S T O D O
1. Make a summer treat
IN This summer instead of buying your frozen
popsicles, make your own. You don't have to
get plastic molds, but you can use a plastic
SUMMER cup too just make sure to have some type of
stick. Pick a juice of your choice, slice up some
fresh fruit and freeze. You can make so many
different combinations that could look and
taste better than store bought ones.
2. Go to the beach
Head to the ocean! Enjoy the salty air, the
waves crashing and the sand. If you don't want
W r i t t e n b y Z a r a
to go for a swim, you could also bring a good
book to read while you relax. Have a magical
moment by seeing a sunrise or sunset.
P A G E 1 2
3. Create a photo album
Make this summer extra special and document every day. As things
look better, take a picture every day so at the end of summer you can
create a photo album of your memories.
4. Go fruit picking
There's so many different types of fruit in season this summer. From
strawberries to blueberries, pick fresh fruit from a farm and maybe bake
a pie or sweet treat later.
5. Have a staycation
You don't have to travel to have fun! You can create a staycation right
at home. Treat yourself and splurge on food or drinks that you may not
have all the time. Then, put time aside, unplug from technology and do
something fun that you enjoy. Buy a blow up pool on Amazon & relax.
Whether its siting down to watch your all time favorite movie, reading a
book, a hobby you haven't done in awhile, do something you love to do.

Marinated Summer Veggies
@reno876
This is a recipe for Marinated Vegetables that is very easy and for those that have
vegetable gardens this will be a great way to use them in many different recipes. There
will be no cooking in this recipe, just chopping and marinating. You can keep these in a
couple of mason jars or gallon ziploc bags in the fridge. Just shake it up periodically.
Everything will last a few days to save time except the mushrooms and tomatoes which
you can add as you use. 30 minutes will suffice for them.
Of course, you can use any of your garden veggies to your liking and taste.
ingredients & items you need
2 zucchini
2 summer squash
3 colored bell peppers - red, green and yellow
1 red onion
1 8oz package baby bella mushrooms
2 tomatoes or several cherry tomatoes
Marinade
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Cloves of garlic to taste
1 Tbsp fresh or dried oregano
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
directions:
Wash all of the vegetables well. Add each vegetable into a big bowl as you cut
Cut the peppers, onion, zucchini, yellow squash
Slice the zucchini and squash in half. Make 1/4 inch thick rectangular pieces.
Don't cut them too thin or you won't get that meaty texture.
Using a damp paper towel, remove the dirt on the mushrooms, whole.
Cut the tomatoes in fourths- cherry tomatoes in half
Pour on the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic cloves and oregano.
Season with salt and pepper.
