The History of Pride

The history of Pride can be traced back to the early 20th century, when LGBTQ people began to organize for their rights. In 1924, the first LGBTQ rights organization, the Society for Human Rights, was founded in Chicago. In the years that followed, other LGBTQ rights organizations were founded in cities across the United States. These organizations played a vital role in raising awareness of LGBTQ issues and fighting for LGBTQ rights.

The Stonewall Riots of 1969 were a watershed moment in the history of the LGBTQ rights movement. The riots, which were sparked by a police raid on a gay bar in New York City, led to widespread protests and demonstrations. The Stonewall Riots helped to galvanize the LGBTQ community and led to the formation of new LGBTQ rights organizations. In the years since Stonewall, Pride has become a global phenomenon, with marches and celebrations held in cities around the world.
