The month of June is LGBT Pride month. We wish to recognize some of the people who have been influential in the LGBT movement. An amazing tennis champion, Martina Navratilova was one of the first openly gay athletes. Constantly speaking out for LGBT rights, she gave up millions in endorsements and sponsorships due to her unwillingness to live a lie.
This Day in History: On this day in 1944, the D-Day invasion of Europe took place on the beaches of Normandy, France. 400,000 Allied American, British and Canadian troops were involved.
Today’s Weird Fact: Eating a teaspoon of sugar after having something spicy, can help neutralize the burning sensation.
Today’s Daily Quote: “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”

Corny Joke of the Day: What do you call a group of singing dinosaurs? A tyranno-chorus.
