What Pride Month means to Love's team members
June is Pride Month, a month that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. Love's champions inclusion at our stores and within our organization. We welcome and embrace the power of differences, ideas and backgrounds and are grateful to share the love this month and always.
We asked several team members what Pride Month means to them. We are pleased to hear their different perspectives and insights.
