From its origins in 1969, Pride has become a nationwide, and increasingly a worldwide, phenomenon. Hundreds of GLBT Pride events take place every year in communities large and small.
People attending a Pride event may not always make the connection to the Stonewall Riots, but they have been influenced by this historical event.
Pride reminds us that fewer than 40 years ago, such a public event could not have been held in this country. It would have been unthinkable, perhaps even unimaginable.
Pride reminds that there are places in the world today where Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people aren’t free to be out, much less march in a parade or gather in protest.
Pride reminds us how precious civil liberties and civil rights are to everyone in a free society.
