IN THIS MONTH
Non-binary, sometimes written as nonbinary, is a term referring to individuals whose gender identity does not exclusively fall into the binary gender classification of only "man" or "woman." Those who are non-binary may identify with either masculinity or femininity in some capacity, both, or neither at all. Although it is a gender identity on its own, it can also be used as an umbrella term to refer to many gender identities. While non-binary is included in the transgender umbrella, not all non-binary people use the term transgender as a personal label; some identify as cisgender. International Non-Binary People's Day has been observed each year on July 14 since 2012 and the surrounding week is Non-Binary Awareness Week, a specific time by, for, and about non-binary people to celebrate themselves and their communities, and to spread awareness to other people to how they can be a better ally to non-binary people.

The Annual Reminder Days were held each July 4 from 1965 to 1969 outside of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in response to the USA barring "sexual deviants"—"homosexuals"—from federal government employment. Thousands of people lost their jobs based on their sexual orientation. Annual Reminder participants dressed in formal business attire to communicate "respectability" and carried signs with messages such as "Homosexuals Ask For Equality Before the Law".
