About Pride Month
What is Pride?
Pride as we know it today, started as a protest.
In the early hours of June 28th 1969, the Stonewall Inn in New York City was raided by police. Frustrated with police brutality, discrimination and not wanting to lose another LGBTQ+ safe space in the city, the community fought back.
Pride month is celebrated in June, as the anniversary of the Stonewall riots and as a reminder of the power of standing together in defiance of those who seek to divide us.
Pride is known as a celebration of people coming together in love and friendship, to show how far LGBTQ+ rights have come, and highlighting the work that is still to be done, both at home and across the world.
Pride month is about acceptance, equality, celebrating the work of LGBTQ+ people, education in LGBTQ+ history and raising awareness of issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. It also calls for people to remember how damaging discrimination was and still can be.
Pride is all about being proud of who you are no matter who you love.
Why do we need Pride?
Just eight years ago, the UK's legal framework for LGBTQ+ rights was the pride of Europe. But no longer. As anti-LGBTQ+ narratives have taken hold in our press and politics, the progress we have made has stalled.
Over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ people live in the UK, and the impact on us has been all too real. Hate crimes against our communities have risen drastically in the past few years. With every day that passes, we feel a little less safe going about our lives.
As across the world the rights LGBTQ+ people fought so hard for are slowly being stripped away, Pride is a chance for the community and allies to stand together to show that we’re not going anywhere.
Fifty years after the Stonewall uprising, there's lots for us to celebrate – but there’s also a lot more work that needs to be done. We won’t stop, until everyone, everywhere, can be accepted for who they are - without exception.
