“Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Recognition and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community happens in many countries around the globe at different times. In the United States, June is recognized as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and in the wake of a tumultuous year where the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ people around the world has been threatened, DeviantArt’s focus for this month is on the long-standing tradition of art as a political statement to benefit the equal rights movement.
Art as Political Statement
Art has always served to speak to social messages and current events, especially within the equal rights movement. In the 1980s in particular, art became an important, functional means for activists to protest the US government’s deliberate ignorance of the AIDS crisis

I was looking at the links on your official webpage, and I see that the ones to Yahoo! resources are (no surprise) broken now. Will they be migrated to a different host?
It's the link named "Associated Content" on your blogspot.com page. Yahoo! is shutting down all of their groups; they have some sort of tool for unloading one's content so it won't be lost.
