Gay Pride Day
History of Gay Pride Daytime and its origin:
The history of Lgbtq+ Pride Day dates back to 1969, when a team of LGBT+ people rebelled against discrimination and oppression in a bar called the Stonewall Inn in New York. The Stonewall riots, as they are known, lasted several days and marked the start of a broader movement for LGBT+ rights.
A year later, in 1970, the first gay pride parade was held on the streets of New York to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots. This event was organized by a group of LGBT+ activists and was seen as a way to make visible and claim the rights of the LGBT+ community.
Since then, Gay Pride Day has been celebrated in cities and countries around the world, being an opportunity to remember the history of the LGBT+ community and its fight for rights and equality. Although the way it is noted varies from place to place, it generally includes parades, cultural events, fairs, and activities to raise awareness for the LGBT+ community.
Gay Pride Day is celebrated around the world in the month of June, usually on the last weekend of the month, this day is acknowledged to commemorate the birthday of the Stonewall riots.
overview
New York City’s first ever Pride March was held on Sunday, June 28, 1970 (the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising), and, much to the organizers’ surprise, attracted thousands of participants.
Known at the time as the Christopher Street Liberation Evening March, the route began on Washington Place between Sheridan Square and Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village, moved north up Sixth Avenue, and ended with a “Gay-In” in Central Park’s Sheep Meadow.
