Pride Day History

The origin of Pride Month can be traced back to 1969, after the Stonewall riots, when a series of gay liberation protests were held. It has since then spread outside of the United States. Modern-day Pride Month honours the movement for LGBT rights. After the Stonewall riots and the first pride marches, the number of LGBT groups rapidly increased, and the pride movement spread across the United States. Most pride celebrations around the world are held in June. However, in June 1999, US President Bill Clinton declared the anniversary of Stonewall every June in America as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. In 2011, President Barack Obama expanded the officially recognized Pride Month to include the whole of the LGBT community. In 2021, Joe Biden recognized Pride Month and vowed to push for LGBT rights across the US. Happy Pride 2023 Images & June Pride Month HD Wallpapers For Free Download Online: Quotes, Greetings, Wishes and Messages to Share During LGBT Pride Month.
