Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising at The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the "Stonewall uprising" that fueled the fire for a global LGBTQ movement.

#PrideMonth: This year, it’s the 50th anniversary of the ‘Stonewall uprising’ that fueled the fire for a global LGBTQ movement. From symposiums to movie screenings, walking tours to art exhibits, and even an opera, a slew of institutions and organizations are filling June with events that commemorate that moment and its impact through the past five decades, and also using it as inspiration for the current generation of activists to keep pushing for civil rights. The uproar at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City’s West Village, began on June 28, 1969, when bar patrons and area residents, tired of harassment that was still allowed by law, clashed with police officers who had come to raid the the Stonewall Inn. Demonstrations continued for the next several nights. Those events weren’t the first resistance act of the gay rights movement, but it galvanized activism in the United States and around the world.
