PRIDE

Pride Month is a globally recognized annual celebration that takes place in June to honor and support the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community. It serves as a commemoration of the Stonewall Riots, a series of protests that occurred in June 1969, where LGBTQ+ individuals fought against police harassment and discrimination. Pride Month is an opportunity for people to come together, raise awareness about the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, promote equality, and celebrate diversity and acceptance. It is marked by various events, parades, rallies, and educational activities that aim to foster inclusivity, solidarity, and the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
