Celebrate Pride Month
A Commemoration of LGBTQ+ Rights and History
Background
Pride Month is an annual celebration held in June to commemorate the Stonewall riots and recognize the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality.
The Stonewall Riots
The Stonewall riots, which took place at the Stonewall Inn in New York City in June 1969, were a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The riots were sparked by a police raid on the bar, which was a popular gathering place for LGBTQ+ people. The raid led to several days of violent clashes between police and protesters.
The Significance of Pride Month
Pride Month is an important time to remember the Stonewall riots and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. It is also a time to celebrate the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
