The pandemic is still in full force in many countries, where large gatherings are prohibited. Īnd not all areas are able to participate with full parades – or any parade at all. In 2019, New York and the world celebrated the largest international Pride celebration in history: Stonewall 50 - WorldPride NYC 2019, produced by Heritage of Pride commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, with five million attending in Manhattan alone. The events became annual and grew internationally. In 1970, pride and protest marches were held in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco around the first anniversary of Stonewall. The parades seek to create community and honor the history of the movement. Most pride events occur annually, and some take place around June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, a pivotal moment in modern LGBTQ social movements. The events also at times serve as demonstrations for legal rights such as same-sex marriage. “Pride parades (also known as pride marches, pride events, and pride festivals) are outdoor events celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary and queer ( LGBTQ) social and self-acceptance, achievements, legal rights, and pride. As we slowly emerge from the pandemic and take tentative steps back to normalcy, Pride promoters are working overtime to bring the festivities back to a party-hungry community.Īnd looking at the calendars from around the world, Pride is back, albeit a bit more subdued.īut first a bit of history, courtesy Wikipedia.
