Pride Month starts this weekend. Here’s what to expect
- Pride Month begins on June 1 each year to celebrate LGBTQ history, culture, and resilience with parades and marches worldwide.
- The observance originated from the Stonewall Inn riots on June 28, 1969, sparked by police raids and harassment in New York City.
- The inaugural Pride marches commemorating the anniversary of Stonewall were held on June 28, 1970, in New York City as well as several other major U.S. cities including those on the West Coast and in the Midwest.
- It took 30 years until 1999 for the U.S. federal government to officially recognize Pride Month, with further acknowledgments by Presidents Obama in 2011 and Biden in 2024.
- Experts emphasize education as the best allyship form during Pride Month, encouraging learning to support and understand the LGBTQ community effectively.
