When is Pride?
"Pride," or "Gay Pride" as it is also known, has transformed from a "day," or a "weekend," or a "month" of celebration to PRIDE 365! For those who ask, when is Pride Month? It's typically considered to be in June (the first Pride Parade took place in New York City on June 28, 1970). Scroll down to see the full spectrum of events for 2023.
What is Pride?
Waving pride flags in the United States has been happening for over 50 years since the first pride parade took place in New York City on June 28, 1970, one year after the Stonewall Riots of 1969. NYC Pride has become a focal point for celebration worldwide, with millions gathering together. Other major Pride Events in the United States include Los Angeles (LA Pride), San Diego Pride, San Francisco Pride, Chicago Pride Fest, Houston LGBTQ+ Pride Celebration, Boston Pride, Denver Pride, Palm Springs Pride, The Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival, Annapolis Pride Parade & Festival, Pride Palooza in the Park (Binghamton, NY), The Twin Cities Pride Festival in Minneapolis, Honolulu Pride, and Atlanta Pride. In Europe, Berlin, Madrid, Cologne, Paris, Rome, London, and Copenhagen are the biggest. Sao Paolo, Brazil in South America, and Toronto and Banff in North America are also very popular. Vallarta Pride is always a party in Mexico!
Pride and Prejudice
While Pride events vary from place to place, they serve the world by raising awareness and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people worldwide. In many countries where discrimination or persecution still exists, Gay Pride events worldwide help break down barriers and bring people together. While there is still much work to be done, the positive wave of momentum continues to grow, and prejudice is being paved over with pride worldwide!
Virtual Pride
With hundreds of Pride Parades and Events either canceled or postponed across the US in 2020, GayTravel stepped up and hosted an event to keep the spirit of Pride alive! 28 Prides on June 28th, 2020, on the 50th Anniversary of the first pride march. In record time, Virtual Pride gave 28 pride organisations a voice using GayTravel’s digital megaphone that trended on Twitter. The event was a massive success in terms of being a historic first, and there were many unforeseen silver linings of the pandemic that came to light. For example, those who usually couldn't attend a physical pride because of physical limitations or those who always wanted to but didn't have the means - instead of being isolated - could celebrate with their friends and family from all over. Another silver lining? Smaller Prides that don't get as much attention as the bigger prides were centre stage during Virtual Pride.
InterPride
InterPride is an international organisation that represents and advances the Pride movement by coordinating with global partners to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender culture and pride. Its mission is to achieve legal, social, and cultural equity for SOGIESC communities through the Pride movement.
