While advocacy organizations existed earlier in the 1900s throughout North America and Europe, it was the June 1969 protests against police brutality at New York’s Stonewall Inn that made gay rights a national discourse. In 2000, June was declared an official month to recognize Stonewall and subsequent legal standings. In 2009, the designation was expanded to recognize a wider spectrum of identity.

SAI’s PAN PIPES and Composers Bureau Updates have featured items on performances by a number of LGBTQIA+ musical groups, including the Gay Men’s Chorus at Carnegie Hall and the Le***an and Big Apple Gay Corps Symphonic Band, as well as other articles. Revisit this article from 2017 on James McCarthy’s choral work, “Codebreaker,” about the life of Alan Turing: https://bit.ly/49DgaZP

Since 2018, May 30th has been a day encouraging imagination, experimentation, and the thrill of play. Try a different art. Try a different medium. Hey, try an SAI Creativity Day Madlib! Use words or emojis – it’s up to you!

Begun in the year (RIDICULOUS NUMBER), National Creativity Day was started by (PROPER NAME) (ANIMAL) in the country of (PIZZA TOPPING). The day’s anthem is “(EMOTION) Is A (SHAMPOO FRAGRANCE) (PIECE OF FURNITURE).” It is traditionally played on the (PIECE OF JEWELERY) and the (FIRST CAR YOU OWNED).
