Today is International Drag Day, which is observed annually on July 16. It is a day to celebrate and honor the art of drag and drag culture. It was established to recognize and appreciate the drag queens, drag kings and all members of the LGBTQ+ community who have significantly contributed to the drag community.

It is also an opportunity to celebrate the acceptance of all genders and sexualities.

The Partnership Comprehensive Care Practice recognizes the resilience and bravery of the drag community and the significance of their efforts in the pursuit of equality and acceptance.

July is National Minority (BIPOC) Mental Health Awareness Month, officially designated as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in 2008.

Disability Pride Month is celebrated globally during the month of July to honor the history, achievements, experiences and challenges of the disabled community. It coincides with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), landmark legislation that significantly advanced inclusion of the disabled community.

Originating in the U. S. to commemorate the ADA's passing in July 1990, Disability Pride Month has grown from a single day of recognition to a month-long observance.

Let’s celebrate the identities, cultures and contributions of those with disabilities and seek to change perceptions of disability, remove stigmas, and promote the idea that disability is part of human diversity.

The Partnership Comprehensive Care Practice acknowledges Omnisexual Visibility Day on July 6. Omnisexual individuals recognize and are attracted to people of all genders, with gender being an important consideration in their attraction. Unlike pansexuality, where gender is not a factor, omnisexuals may have preferences for specific genders, while others may not.

This day raises awareness and understanding of the omnisexual identity, celebrates diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, and addresses any misconceptions surrounding this identity.
