The majority of Pride events are held in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City on June 28, 1969, which most historians consider to be the birth of the modern LGBT civil rights movement. At the time, police raids on bars catering to LGBT patrons were common, but that night, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back. While historical accounts of the night vary, the violent response ignited a national firestorm of activism that brought new visibility to the struggle for LGBT equality.

Although we have achieved much progress over the last forty years, there is still much work to do. Check out some GLAAD resources to help you celebrate or learn more about Pride and consider joining us at a Pride event to help support our media advocacy and anti-defamation work.
