2020 PRIDE MONTH

June 2020

As we end Pride Month, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on this time in history and celebrate the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling protecting LGBTQIA+ workers against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. This decision affirms the human rights of LGBTQIA+ employees so that they may be treated equally and fairly under the law. We know more progress needs to be made in this area and are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives.

As the largest group of health professionals, nurses have considerable influence on the health care of those who identify as LGBTQIA+. We are proud to share that our newly inducted NJLN President, Dr. Tracy Ortelli recently had the article, Improving LGBTQ health and well-being: Free, evidence-based resources for health care providers, individuals, and families published, which can be found in the June 2020 Issue of AJN, American Journal of Nursing.

The NJLN is a diverse, inclusive, and respectful organization that supports, accepts, and welcomes ALL as a part of our community of members. Happy Pride!
