LGBTQ+ Pride events

LGBTQ+ Pride events are celebrations that promote the visibility and rights of the LGBTQ+ community, which includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals, among others. These events commemorate the struggle for equal rights and commemorate key historical events, like the 1969 Stonewall Riots. Pride parades and festivals typically feature colorful displays, music, art, and speeches, aiming to foster acceptance, celebrate diversity, and encourage openness. They serve as a platform to advocate for equal rights and challenge discrimination, while also providing a space for community solidarity and personal expression.
