June is Pride Month, and cities around the U.S. are hosting parades and other events to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, its history and continuing fight for equal rights.
Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, when police raided the Stonewall In, a prominent gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.
