Pride month is a celebration for all people of any sexuality and gender.

Pride month is celebrated in June as a result of the stonewall riots.

The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
