Dates.
And I meant the noun used to describe time. I'm not talking about the fruit. Nor the light at the end of the tunnel for those of us who has been aggressively friend zoned. But I digress. Here's the rub:

March 31st - International Transgender Day of Visibility

Celebration to mark the decision to abolish homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization in 1990.
May 22nd - Harvey Milk Day
