Pride marches are public demonstrations that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and promote equal rights. They often take place in June, coinciding with Pride Month, which commemorates the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in 1969. Participants typically include individuals from diverse backgrounds, allies, and organizations advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. These events feature colorful parades, music, and speeches, creating a festive atmosphere. Pride marches aim to raise awareness about issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community, such as discrimination and violence, while fostering a sense of unity and acceptance. They serve as a platform for visibility and empowerment for all participants.
