When is Pride Month 2025?

Pride Month is typically celebrated in June, but different states and countries put on events throughout the year.

Why is Pride Month in June?

To commemorate the Stonewall riots. In June of 1969, LGBTQIA+ individuals rose up against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York, which inspired more protests in the following weeks. These brave individuals fought for the right to be out and open in public without fear of getting arrested. It’s important to note many of the leaders of this movement were trans women and LGBTQIA+ people of color, a fact that sometimes gets lost when recounting these events.

Why is it called Pride?

Organizers were creating a bunch of events to further the movement and wanted a word to unite them all. The word “pride” was chosen in an attempt to defy the bigotry aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community and encourage these individuals to fight for their rights by being out and happy with themselves.
