when is pride month

Pride Month is celebrated annually in the month of June. This observance honors the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which began on June 28, 1969, in New York City, an important event that sparked the modern LGBTQ rights movement. Pride Month includes a series of events such as parades, parties, workshops, and memorials recognizing the impacts of the LGBTQ community throughout history. The month-long celebration has been officially recognized in the United States since 1999 and is marked worldwide, although some countries or cities may celebrate at different times due to local conditions.
