June serves as Pride month, which was chosen to commemorate the Stonewall riots that occurred in New York City at the end of June 1969. \u00a0This moment served as a catalyst for the LGBT rights movement and is a reminder of the importance of equality and inclusion in our lives. \u00a0Because of this, many events are held during this month to recognize the impact the LGBT community has made around the world. To do our part in commemorating Pride Month, Couchbase debuted a stylized profile image earlier this week, which can be seen across all of our social media channels: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
