What is Pride?

The term "pride" was first used in a Pride march in the wake of the Stonewall Inn riots of 1969—and it's a term that’s become meaningful to the community ever since. Pride events usually involve a series of marches, parades, drag and live performances, music, colorful dresses and omnipresent rainbow flags.

We also want to acknowledge that wearing rainbow clothing or making a pride cake isn't enough to support the LGBTQ+ community. An important way you can continue to spread the "love is love" message is to educate yourself and help foster a safe space for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, non-conforming and pansexual people.
