Pride Month is celebrated every June in commemoration of the riots in Stonewall, New York, in 1969, which marked the beginning of laws and practices that protect those who make up the LGBTQIA + community. Celebrations throughout the month include pride parades, workshops, symposiums, and events around the world that also honor those who have lost their lives in hate crimes or to HIV/AIDS.
