LGBTQ+ Pride Month Kicks Off in June With Protests, Parades, Parties
June has been an important month for the LGBTQ+ rights movement since New York City’s first Pride march — then dubbed the “Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day” march — on June 28, 1970.
Along with the marches, Pride organizers fill the month of June with events ranging from readings and performances to parties and street festivals. At some past events, there have been concerns about commercialism and corporate presence that overshadow real issues that are still unresolved. In New York City for the past few years, there has been a second event on the same day of the larger Pride march. The Reclaim Pride Coalition says their event hearkens back to the spirit of protest that animated Stonewall.WHAT ARE THE FLASHPOINTS?
