Pride parades (or Prides) are gatherings of LGBTQIA people to protest for equal rights and celebrate progress and community. They are usually held annually all around the world, and June is sometimes referred to as Pride Month.
The first âofficialâ Pride parades were held in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago on 28th June 1970 to commemorate the first anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, though these were the result of years of prior activism and community building including public demonstrations. The first official UK Pride rally occurred on 1st July 1972.
