Pride festivities usually take place during the month of June in honor of Stonewall, but some international events occur during other months, such as February and October. Pride has always been a time to celebrate identity and love, and after a long COVID pause, LGBTQ celebrations are back in major cities all around the world. Events like Pride feel more important now than ever before. But the fight for equal rights still continues, especially as trans rights are threatened in many states across the nation and the possibility that the right to marry whomever you love, regardless of gender, could be overturned by current Supreme Court justices. Since that fateful day on June 28, 1969, various strides have been made for the liberation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people in the United States and other parts of the world. This June marks 53 years since the first stone was thrown at the Stonewall Inn in New York City and sparked the beginning of the Stonewall Riots-what many consider to be the beginning of the modern LGBTQ rights movement.
