According to daysoftheyear.com, International LGBTQ Pride Day was marked for the first time in the history of a country in which a community of non-standard people fought against an oppressive system, as a catalyst for the movement for the rights of the LGBT+ community in other countries. Worked Following the Stonewall incident, gay residents of Greenwich Village formed various activism groups to create safer spaces for the community. Thanks to his efforts and the foundation of collective rights organizations, on June 28, 1970, the first Pride Marches were held in cities such as New York and Los Angeles. Support for LGBTQ+ has grown steadily over the past few decades, even when the LGBTQ+ lifestyle was considered taboo in the 1970s and ’80s. Perhaps the most recognizable symbol of Pride made its debut at the San Francisco event: the rainbow flag.
International LGBTQ Pride Day is a time for each individual to be proud of who they are and to bring unique offerings to the world. The celebration also takes place in other parts of the world to join forces in solidarity for freedom and rights for all. This day is a day to celebrate the relentless fight that has managed to strengthen the rights currently recognized in some countries.
