Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani proudly honors and celebrates our talented LGBTQ+ employees, clients, and allies throughout the year, with a particular focus during the month of June. Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots, which began on June 28, 1969, when police raided the Stonewall Inn in New York City, sparking a series of protests and igniting the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
The Stonewall uprising served as a pivotal moment for emerging civil, women, and gay rights movements. One year later, the nation saw its first gay pride marches.
Our firm is unwavering in its commitment to equality for all, continually striving to build and sustain an inclusive workplace that honors and celebrates diversity. "I am very proud of our ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community—a cause that we have championed for many years," stated Firmwide Managing Partner Dion Cominos. "We look forward to continuing to foster a culture of acceptance and inclusion where opportunities for advancement and success are available to everyone."
