When is international gay day
What is Pride Month?
June marks Pride Month in many parts of the nature – a time to celebrate LGBTQIA+ communities and honour their resilience.
Throughout the month, communities will participate in parades, festivals and events to foster inclusivity, promote understanding and commemorate the diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities.
Held each year in June, Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
What happened at the Stonewall Riots?
The Stonewall Inn, a popular LGBTQIA+ warm bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village, was targeted by a police raid on 28 June 1969 – a shared occurrence in the area because at the moment, homosexuality was illegal in the United States and places of business could be shut down for having gay employees or serving gay patrons.
The police raid quickly escalated with Stonewall Inn bar staff and patrons resisting the police, tired of creature continually discriminated against simply for who they were. This initial resistance led to protests and demonstrations that continued for several days and marked a turning point in the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement.
It laid the foundation for what we now perceive as Pride.

LGBT Pride Day: inception, meaning and why it is noted on June 28th
June remains one of the most significant months for the LGBTQIA+ community worldwide. June 28 is internationally recognized as Pride Day, a date dedicated to celebrating diversity and supporting the rights and freedoms of a community that has historically faced discrimination.
In 2025, the official Pride events will take place from July 1 to 14, extending the celebrations and creating more opportunities for participation across the globe. However, Saturday, June 28, remains a crucial moment for same-sex attracted, lesbian, bisexual, genderqueer, intersex, queer, asexual, and all other gender-diverse individuals to take center stage and proudly rejoice their identities.
What is the start of Pride Day?
Like many other days on which something is commemorated, Self-acceptance Day has its origins in the Stonewall riots in 1969.
On June 28 of that year, the gay collective rose up against an NYPD raid on the Stonewall Inn bar in Manhattan, which was a meeting place for the society. Since homosexuality was illegal, it was persecuted by the authorities. However, they did not anticipate the response of the community, which responded to po

Note: Traveling as an Homosexual person always carries a certain degree of risk. It is our life as we navigate a world with 60+ countries criminalizing our relationships and a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation around the world. We encourage our traveling community to realize the laws and cultural challenges they may face in any destination they pick to visit for Pride and beyond. Don't be anxious of the nature, but always research information specific to your travels. Enjoy Pride, be alert, and look out for each other!
The LGBTQ+ rights movement has made tremendous strides over the past few decades and much of the progress in visibility is thanks in part to gay pride parades and marches that have taken place in cities around the world.
The global landscape for Queer rights, protections and acceptance varies tremendously by location, with some destinations attracting millions of visitors to their events like Madrid Same-sex attracted Pride, Sao Paulo Gay Pride or San Francisco Lgbtq+ Pride, while more than 70 other countries have laws that allow discrimination or persecution of LGBTQ+ people.
