The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 73, which recognizes June 2025 as LGBTQ Pride Month. This resolution highlights Wisconsin's historical commitment to equality, noting significant milestones such as the state's pioneering law against discrimination based on sexual orientation in 1982 and the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2014. It acknowledges the progress made in the treatment of LGBTQ individuals, including the election of openly LGBTQ representatives in the state legislature and the U.S. Senate.

Despite these advancements, the resolution also addresses ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ community, particularly among youth who are at higher risk for bullying, mental health issues, and homelessness. By designating June as Pride Month, the resolution aims to promote an atmosphere of inclusion and celebration, encouraging all citizens to participate in honoring LGBTQ individuals and affirming their commitment to mutual respect and understanding within the community.
