Pride Month 2024! A Little Recap
What is Pride Month?
LGBTQ+ Pride Month is the month dedicated to commemorating and celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer members of the community. Pride Month started after the Stonewall riots in 1968.
“It was a summer night in Greenwich Village, New York, when the cops burst into the Stonewall Inn, demanding to ‘check the sex’ of some of the bar’s customers by physical examination, arresting people and making them wait inside police vehicles. These actions didn’t go unnoticed, and the crowd (tired and angry at the police’s homophobia) stood up and fought, forcing the cops to retreat.”
Thou that situation in Stonewall Inn was not the first time police mistreated the LGBTQ+ community, this particular one gained momentum and gave new power to the “Gay liberation” movement.
When is Pride Month?
Pride Month takes place from June 1st to June 31st every year. And during this month. Multiple parades, gatherings and activities are organized by LGBTQ+ organizations.
