Pride events

Pride events are celebrations that promote LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and others) rights and visibility. They often include parades, festivals, and parties, fostering a sense of community and acceptance. These events commemorate the struggles for LGBTQ+ rights, particularly the 1969 Stonewall riots, which were pivotal in the gay rights movement. Pride events aim to raise awareness about discrimination, celebrate diversity, and encourage solidarity among LGBTQ+ individuals and allies. They are held in many cities worldwide, typically in June, which is recognized as Pride Month.
