Your purchase will help the El Paso Zoo Society continue their mission of supporting the El Paso Zoo and conservation! It doesn't get any wilder than that!
If you're wondering why we celebrate Pride in June? That's because the origin of Pride month dates back to the Stonewall Riots in June of 1969. During this time, a gay club called Stonewall Inn in NYC was raided by police. A nearby crowd, notably consisting of trans people of color as well as other people within the LGBTQ+ community, grew restless and began to fight back. That incident fanned the flame into what continues to be an ongoing fight for healthcare and human rights for the LGBTQ+ community.
Pride is for everyone who celebrates their loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community and is all about love. Have a happy and fabulous Pride at the El Paso Zoo and at these great Pride events around El Paso!
