Reports on what exactly took place on that day are unclear. In the raid that led to the Stonewall Riots, two police officers entered the Stonewall Inn and demanded to ‘check the sex’ of some of the bar’s customers by physical examination. The Stonewall Riots began on the 28th of June 1969 when the LGBTQ+ customers of New York City’s Stonewall Inn resisted police raids on their bar. Pride Month commemorates the June 1969 Stonewall Riots. This is an event which takes place in a different global city every year - in 2019, the WorldPride in New York City was estimated to have been attended by over 4 million people. This is a huge expansion from the first Pride parade held in New York, where police reports suggest there were around 2,000 attendees! In 2000, for example, WorldPride was founded. Pride celebrations have grown and diversified since the first parades in the early 1970s. From parades and concerts, to workshops and exhibitions, the events of Pride month enable LGBTQ+ people and allies to celebrate their genders and sexualities, discuss LGBTQ+ history, and advocate for further change. Pride is an annual global event which is celebrated every June. This guide reflects on the origins of the movement, and considers how the history of Pride can help shape how we celebrate in the present. Pride is a month-long celebration of LGBTQ+ lives, history and culture.
