Pride movements

Pride movements are social and political efforts advocating for the rights, acceptance, and visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals. Originating from protests like the 1969 Stonewall Riots, these movements challenge discrimination, promote equality, and celebrate diverse identities and orientations. Pride events, such as parades and festivals, serve as platforms for community solidarity and raise awareness. Overall, Pride movements seek to ensure that LGBTQ+ people can live authentically without fear of prejudice, fostering a society that recognizes and respects human diversity.
