pride movement
Queer rights activism
The pride movement is the ongoing campaign for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility, and social acceptance.
It encompasses political activism, legal advocacy, and cultural celebration—most visibly through annual pride parades and events commemorating the 1969 Stonewall riots.
The pride movement has transformed public attitudes toward same-sex relationships over the past fifty years.
