The History Of LGBTQ+ Pride

On 28 June 1969, LGBTQ+ patrons at the Stonewall Inn in New York City rebelled against raids by the police. That night spearheaded the gay liberation movement which led to the first Pride parades in some US cities in the summer of 1970. The movement grew and gradually became global. According to organisers, London's 2018 Pride parade was attended by over a million people.
