Pride Month Reflections: Celebrating History and Identity

Pride Month Reflections: Celebrating History and Identity

The History of Pride Month

Pride Month history can be traced back to the Stonewall Riots of 1969, where a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community began as a response to the police raids in New York City’s Stonewall Inn. This spot in time marked a pivotal moment for the LGBTQ+ rights movement and the fight against discrimination.

Following the Stonewall Riots, many activists continue to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. In June 1970 the first Gay Pride marches were established in several major cities including New York City and Los Angeles. Over the years, Pride Month has evolved into a global celebration of LGBTQ+ identity, culture, and activism. Pride month is celebrated in cities around the world with parades, festivals, marches, and other events.

Pride Month is used as a platform to celebrate identity, honor history, raise awareness, promote inclusivity, and advocate equality for the LGBTQ+ community. It serves not only as a reminder of the progress made but as a voice for the work that still needs to be done to achieve full equality and acceptance.

Join the festivities and celebrate Pride Month with joy and pride! From attending pride parades and events to participating in community outreach and education initiatives, find inspiration for ways to honor and celebrate LGBTQ+ identity and culture.
