🌈 WHY IS PRIDE CELEBRATED IN JUNE?
On June 28, 1969, police raided a gay bar in New York City known as the Stonewall Inn. The event sparked a series of riots by people in the LGBTQ community, constituting the major event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the US.
The month of June was chosen to honor and commemorate those Stonewall riots.
