Celebrate LGBTQ Pride with these fun events happening in all 50 states!
The month of June is celebrated as Gay Pride Month, in which events all across the United States and around the world are held to recognize and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
The history of Gay Pride Month came out of the events that occurred during the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which was considered a pivotal moment in history for LGBTQ+ — Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer — rights. It was the first major stance against discrimination that protestors engaged in, and it is known as the moment that ultimately began the modern movement for LGBTQ liberation and rights.
