International LGBTQ Pride Day, marking the anniversary of Stonewall riots.
International LGBTQ Pride Day celebrates LGBTQ rights and commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots with parades and events around the world.
International LGBTQ Pride Day marks the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City on June 28, 1969, when members of the LGBTQ community resisted a police raid at the Stonewall Inn. This event ignited the modern LGBTQ rights movement and inspired annual pride parades globally. Today, Pride Day features colorful marches, educational programs, performances, and solidarity actions that highlight ongoing struggles for equality and acceptance. The rainbow flag, first designed in 1978, has become a universal symbol of diversity and resilience. Community organizations use this day to advocate for legal protections, mental health services, and inclusive policies. International observances foster unity and honor the courage of activists who fought for LGBTQ rights.
