Pride Month is a month-long celebration held each June to honor the LGBTQ community and culture. It commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots, a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ rights. The month serves to recognize the contributions of LGBTQ individuals, promote inclusivity, and raise awareness of ongoing challenges faced by the community. Pride Month events often include parades, festivals, workshops, and educational initiatives, fostering a sense of unity and advocating for equal rights and acceptance.
