In the United States and a number of other countries around the world, June is
Pride Month. Celebrated by members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies,
Pride commemorates the Stonewall Uprising (also known as the Stonewall riots),
which began in Greenwich Village the night of June 28, 1969. This set the stage
for the Gay Rights Movement of the 1970s, one of many movements of the era
striving for equal rights for affected communities.

Before the Gay Rights Movement, people practicing same-sex relational behavior
in public could be arrested, non-heterosexual or gender-nonconforming people
were frequently fired from their jobs if their orientation was discovered, and
harassment was commonplace. In an era of widespread calls for equality—women’s
rights, voting rights, and equal rights for people of color—the Stonewall
Uprising marked a decisive shift in tone, from attempts to educate the
heterosexual population to demanding respect and equal treatment.

Watch: Learn more about the Stonewall Riots, the legal and cultural
circumstances that led to them, the uprising itself, and their enduring impact
and legacy in this brief video from the History Channel.

Founded in the wake of the Stonewall riots, the Gay Liberation Front was one of
the first organizations to lobby for gay rights in the U.S. At the time,
homosexuality was still illegal in forty-nine states. While same-sex sexual
activity has been decriminalized in America, the work started by the Gay Rights
Movement before and after the Stonewall uprising continues today. Laws
criminalizing same-sex activity disappeared gradually, with them being ruled
unconstitutional as recently as 2003, but harassment still persists today. Pride
Month acknowledges the sacrifices made by members of the community, celebrates
how far the community has come, and recognizes the progress that still needs to
be made.

Thirty years after the Stonewall riots, in 1999, then-U.S. President Bill
Clinton issued a proclomation officially recognizing Pride Month.
