50-plus years of LGBT Pride parades By Leslie Gornstein Getty Images
On June 28, 1969, members of New York City s gay community rose up against oppression and state-sponsored violence, fighting back in an event now known as the Stonewall Riots or Stonewall Rebellion.
Within a few years, organized, annual parades of pride and remembrance would emerge to mark the event. These June pride parades have spread worldwide, evolving to address new challenges while remembering gay civil rights pioneers. Here s a look at just over 50 years of pride parades, both here and abroad, and how they ve grown and changed.
Here, an unidentified woman holds a large sign that reads, I am a lesbian and I am beautiful, during the first Stonewall anniversary march, then known as Christopher Street Liberation Day, in New York, on June 28, 1970.
