June is Pride month across the US. There are parades, festivals and other events in a ton of locations — Charlotte 
, Albuquerque , Salt Lake City . And San Francisco.
What I found distinctly interesting was the New York City events, which have a definite historical element. Gay rights, as with all history, is a continuum of people seeking to live their lives with dignity. But there are "charter" moments, so to speak, when people simply insist on their lawful rights, a place at the table.
For Gay Rights, the Stonewall riots in 1969 energized a movement that continues each summer to celebrate its successes and motivate the necessary effort to keep people working for their civil rights, person by person.
Wells Fargo supports the communities it serves and has recognized the LGBT community for over 20 years. In the 80s, Wells Fargo was instrumental in adopting a non-discrimination policy against people living with HIV and AIDS, and the term "sexual orientation" was added to the company's non-discrimination policy. In1986, Wells Fargo gave its first LGBT donation.
LGBT Pride Month celebrations recognize the positive impact and contributions of LGBT individuals to society. Over the next couple weeks, Guided By History will share some personal stories from Wells Fargo team members who have lived their Pride.
Pride, in this sense, is an affirmation of one's self and the community as a whole. Wells Fargo is proud. I myself am proud. Get out there and contribute your pride as well!
Why do I have to walk into my local Wells Fargo where I have banked for over 10 years and see a sign up on the lobby with two men walking a dog, that says PRIDE 2009?
Why do I need to be concerned about bringing my 7 year old into the lobby of Wells Fargo. You do not have the right to influence or indoctrinate my child with your poster.
SORRY THAT SHE FEELS THAT WAY ABOUT THE GAY COMMUNITY BUT MY QUESTION TO HER IS, DOES SHE LET HER 7 YEAR OLD WALK AROUND IN THE WORLD? THIS IS POSTER WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN ISSUE IF SHE WOULDN'T MAKE A BIG DEAL OF IT.I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THERE TO RECOGNIZE THAT PARTICULAR BANKING COMMUNITY NOT TO PROMOTE IT.
It's unfortunate that some people don't want their children "indoctrinated" with with love, acceptance and respect.
