Pride Month
June 1 – June 30
Pride Month, celebrated annually in June, is a global observance honouring the LGBTQ+ community and their fight for equality, visibility, and rights. The month commemorates the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal event in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Pride Month includes parades, rallies, festivals, and educational events, promoting diversity, inclusion, and social acceptance. It is a time to celebrate the achievements of LGBTQ+ individuals, raise awareness about ongoing challenges such as discrimination and violence, and advocate for full equality. The month also emphasizes love, self-expression, and the importance of community solidarity.
