Gay Pride
June parade movement
Gay Pride is the affirmation of LGBTQ identity and dignity, rejecting shame historically imposed by society.
The term names both a personal stance and a cultural movement.
Gay Pride events—parades, festivals, marches—typically occur in June, commemorating the 1969 Stonewall uprising.
Often shortened to Pride: Are you going to Pride this year?
