Why We Celebrate Pride Month
Pride Month celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and commemorates the Stonewall Riots in June 1969, when the community stood up against police persecution in New York City. This marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
The first Pride marches in the US took place in 1970 in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Today, Pride is celebrated worldwide with millions attending parades in cities like São Paulo (one of the world's largest), San Francisco, NYC, London, Berlin, Sydney, and Madrid.
Pride is about visibility, love, acceptance, and fighting for equal rights. It's a time to celebrate diversity and honor those who fought - and continue fighting - for equality and respect.
