LGBTQ+ Pride Month

Introduction

LGBTQ+ Pride Month is celebrated in June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising that served as a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. Pride Month serves to celebrate the presence and contributions of lesbian, gay, transgender, and queer individuals to history, culture, and society in general. The LGBTQ+ community has fought hard to secure individual rights and in doing so, secured greater equality for themselves and others. This guide contains resources discussing these victories in marriage equality and anti-discrimination laws among other contributions to legal history.

The annual San Diego Pride Parade, celebrated the third Saturday in July, is the largest single-day civic event in the region and is among the largest Prides in the United States, attracting over 250,000 people.
