As June wraps up, so does Pride Month—a time when the LGBTQ+ community and its allies come together to celebrate love, diversity, and acceptance.
Originating as Gay Pride Week in June 1970 to commemorate the first anniversary of the Stonewall Inn police raid in New York City, Pride Month has since transformed into a global phenomenon. Today, it features vibrant parades, marches, and cultural gatherings that transform city streets into colorful displays. More than just a celebration, Pride Month has grown into a powerful global movement advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, educating communities, and promoting societal understanding.
