Pride Month is celebrated every June to honor the LGBTQ+ community and their ongoing fight for equal rights. It commemorates the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which took place in June 1969 in New York City, marking a significant turning point in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. During Pride Month, various events such as parades, festivals, and educational activities are held worldwide to promote awareness and acceptance. These celebrations aim to recognize the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals and to advocate for social justice, equality, and the protection of LGBTQ+ rights.
