The beginnings of Gay Pride lay in the Stonewall riots that took place in New York City’s Greenwich Village. It has become an integral part of society and pop culture, coming a long way from its beginning over 50 years ago.
Gay Pride is an event, a feeling, and even an entire month celebrated by people all around the world. The term Gay Pride has a few meanings, but it is rooted in the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) activism and the fight for equal rights.
