It isn't official here, but in the US Obama just declared June to be Gay Pride Month (June is significant because of the Stonewall Riots in the 1970's that occurred in this month, and this is the month in which they have the gay pride festival in New York. This is also the month that we had protests in response to the Stonewall Riots, which eventually became the Sydney Mardi Gras, and was moved to Feb so we could enjoy it in warmer weather).
