LGBTQ+ Pride Month in the United States is a celebration of everything members of the community bring to our culture, and a commemoration of the people who have suffered or lost their lives because of prejudice, oppression, and many times violence. The social movement to secure the rights of LGBTQ+ people began in the early 1900s, slowly gaining momentum all throughout the1960s until one June night in New York City. The Stonewall Inn, a known gay club, was raided by police, inciting riots lasted for six days, making the gay rights movement world-wide news.
