Pride Month

Pride Month is an annual celebration of the many contributions made by the LGBTQ+ community to history, society and cultures worldwide.

In most places, Pride is celebrated throughout the month of June each year.

Pride month is dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride.

Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969.

Following the Stonewall riots and the first pride marches, the number of LGBT groups rapidly increased, and the pride movement spread across the United States after a few years. As of 2020, most pride celebrations in major urban areas around the world are held in June, although some cities hold them at different times of the year.
