PRIDE is to be Celebrated 365

It’s a vibrant and inclusive celebration that honors the LGBTQIA+ community, our history, achievements, and ongoing struggle for equality.

PRIDE serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of acceptance, diversity, and love. It brings together individuals, organizations, and communities to advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and celebrate the progress made towards a more inclusive society.

Ways to participate:

Educate Yourself and Others

Support and Advocate for LGBTQIA+ Organizations

Show support on Social Media.

The Pride movement, a pivotal moment in the fight for LQBTQ+ rights, originated from the Stonewall riots in 1969. This sparked a wave of activism and led to the first Pride marches, commemorating the Stonewall Inn(Greenwich Village, Manhattan, NY) uprising. The first Pride marches took place in New York city, Chicago, and Los Angeles, on June 28 1970.
