Pride Month
What is Pride Month?
International Pride Month is celebrated each year in June to honour and uplift the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s a time to embrace pride and visibility, while also reflecting on the ongoing challenges and discrimination that many queer individuals continue to experience.
Pride Month takes place in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which occurred on 28 June, 1969, in New York City’s Greenwich Village. These pivotal events marked a turning point in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and are considered a catalyst for the modern queer liberation movement.
