Respect and Pride at Lodi High

The LGBTQ+ community has gone and continues to go through many hardships and fights for equality.  This includes empowering events such as the Stone Wall riots, which started the fight for equality and respect. To recognize and show support for the LGBTQ+ community, the week of Oct. 5th is considered the Week of Respect. The purpose of this week is to promote and encourage love, compassion, and acceptance. To celebrate this year’s Week of Respect, the Rampage has prepared an informative video about the community. We are here to love and support each other at Lodi High School. Remember, you are not alone.
