Pride Month: Colorful, uplifting parades with floats and celebrities, cheerful festivals, workshops, picnics, and parties are among the main components of LGBTQ (Gay) Pride Month in the United States, which takes place in June.
Pride Month honors the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community’s times of struggle for local benefits and the renewed race of impartial authority following the order, as great as the achievements of LGBTQ selves. But how? is June Pride Month celebrated?
The organized pursuit of LGBT rights in the United States dates back to at least 1924 when Henry Gerber founded the Society of Human Rights in Chicago. But it was the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village in June 1969 that galvanized the homosexual rights movement.
Police invaded this famous gathering spot for young gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender persons in the early morning hours of June 28, arresting employees for selling booze without a license, roughing up many clients, and clearing the bar. Outside, the crowd that had gathered to watch the patrons of the bar being herded into police vans became enraged.
Whereas prior witnesses to police persecution of members of the LGBTQ community had stood by meekly, the crowd this time jeered the cops and tossed coins and trash at them, causing the cops to barricade themselves in the bar until backup arrived.
Meanwhile, some 400 people rioted. Although police reinforcements separated the crowd, disturbances raged outside the bar for the next five days.
The Stonewall riots (also known as the Stonewall uprising) launched the LGBT rights movement in the United States.
