LGBTQ+ Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots in Manhattan, New York. This month, throughout the United States, pride parades, workshops, symposiums, and concerts focus on the LGBT experience. Memorials occur for those who lost the battle against HIV.
The Stonewall Riot occurred at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, in Greenwich, New York, in June 1969.
Before the Stonewall Riot, authorities raided gay and lesbian bars across the country under the impression that the said bars were violating the local liquor ban. Arrested and named in the dailies, many patrons experienced dire consequences. However, in June 1969, patrons of Stonewall Inn resisted police harassment, which led to a movement that encouraged outlawing practices against the LGBT community.
In 1998, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13087 promoting equal opportunity for gays and lesbians via Federal government organizations. Proclamation 7316 was declared in June 2000, making Gay and Lesbian Pride Month officially recognized by the US government. On June 1, 2009, President Obama issued Proclamation No 8387, changing the name to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. The President noted the contributions of the LGBT community to the progress of anti-discrimination based on sexual orientation and the initiatives they promoted that curtailed the HIV pandemic.
