Pride events are celebrations that promote the rights and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community. These events often include parades, festivals, and educational activities, aiming to raise awareness about issues faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. They typically take place in June, commemorating the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. During pride events, participants often display colorful symbols, such as the rainbow flag, which represents diversity within the community. These gatherings foster a sense of belonging and support, encouraging people to express their identities freely and advocate for equality and acceptance in society.
