It's Pride Month once again—a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and take pride in the progress we have made together. Since the first Pride March, we have come a long way in our fight for equality and acceptance. The history of the Pride March dates back to June 28, 1970, when the first official march was held in New York City to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. These riots began on June 28, 1969, when police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village. The patrons, tired of constant harassment and discrimination, fought back, leading to several days of protests and clashes with law enforcement. This uprising is widely regarded as the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
