Pride Month, celebrated every June, is a time to honor the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community. It began as a commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City, a pivotal event in the modern LGBTQ rights movement. Pride is a month filled with joyful parades, festivals, and gatherings, and it’s also a time to reflect on the struggles and triumphs that have shaped LGBTQ history.
