The Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services supports June 2026 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual Plus (LBGTQIA+) Pride Month in Fairfax County.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors issued a proclamation at its June 9, 2026, meeting designating the month to honor the history, resilience and contributions of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
The proclamation was accepted by Leo Agustus Miller, co-executive director of Safe Space NOVA, a youth-driven advocacy group. Safe Space NOVA has a mission to “make sure LGBTQIA+ youth know they are not alone,” said Miller.
“Youth are listening, and what they hear is a really powerful message,” said Miller. “A simple one – that they belong here. I want you to know that your identity is something to celebrate; your voice matters, your experiences matter, your future matters in this community.”
The proclamation states that Fairfax County remains committed to protecting the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals as part of its broader commitment to safeguarding the rights and privacy of all Fairfax County residents by fostering an equitable and inclusive community through its policies and practices.
Supporting the LGBTQIA+ community aligns with NCS’ mission to provide opportunities to access a continuum of resources that promote equity and create positive outcomes for people of all ages and abilities.
The proclamation also aligns with the county’s – and NCS’ – commitment to One Fairfax, the policy that intentionally considers equity when making policies or delivering programs and services.
