Pride Month - June

  

 Pride Month is an annual global observance held every June to celebrate LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others) people and their rights. It commemorates the Stonewall Uprising, which occurred in June 1969 and is considered a pivotal moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States and around the world.
