Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated in June to honor the Stonewall Rebellion on June 28, 1969. When police raided New York City’s Stonewall Inn to harass its patrons, they fought back, helping to ignite the LGBTQ civil rights movement. The first pride march began the following year to commemorate the Stonewall Rebellion. But it would be 30 years (June 1999) before the United States government declared June to be Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. Now, people around the world use June to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ [I means intersex; A means asexual; and the plus holds space for expanding gender identies and sexual orientations] community and oppose systemic repression and violence.
