Bastion Lighting Calendar

Bastion Lighting Colours Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple:  Pride Month

Time and date:

Every year, during the month of June, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place, way back in 1969. As well as being a month long celebration, Pride month is also an opportunity to raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. The Bastion will be coloured for the month of June.
