"Pride Month 2024: History, Celebrations, and Global LGBTQ+ Rights"
LGBTQ Pride Month, celebrated every June, honors the LGBTQ community's history and achievements, originating from the 1969 Stonewall riots. It features parades, rallies, and political actions to highlight ongoing issues. The rainbow flag, created in 1978, symbolizes the movement's diversity. Major Pride events occur globally, with New York City and São Paulo hosting some of the largest. The U.S. government first recognized Pride Month in 1999 under President Bill Clinton.
