“Flags are torn from the soul of the people.” Gilbert Baker, 2007 We want to show you a brief overview of some of these flags, their bold shades, and explain their history and meaning. The flags of the LGBTQI+ communityĪs you might know, almost every group of romantic and sexual orientation or gender identity is represented by an official pride flag. In remembrance of the events in Manhattan from 1969 to 1970 in June, Pride month is celebrated in this particular month of the year. One year after the Stonewall uprising, on June the 28th, 1970, thousands of gay and genderqueer people and their supporters gathered in the streets of Manhattan for the Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day March, the first known event celebrating gay pride. And that triggered the pride and LGBTQ+ movement in the United States. Even several days after the event, riots and protests were happening on the streets of Manhattan. The LGBTQ+ community stood up against police violence.
On June 28, 1969, the police violently raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular bar in the local LGBTQ+ community of Manhattan. Due to these regulations, opening a gay bar was prohibited by law. Presenting yourself in public as an openly gay or genderqueer person was deemed disorderly conduct by law. In the 60s, it was considered against the law to be gay. Pride Month is celebrated during June in remembrance of the Stonewall Uprising, a crucial event in LGBTQ+ history that paved the way for the Pride movement. Pride Month is not only a celebration of the LGBTQ+ culture via organized activities, festivals, and art but also a reminder of ongoing inequality issues, discrimination, and lives lost through HIV/AIDS and hate crime.
That's why it’s essential to support and celebrate diversity and tolerance more than ever!
Many people in the LGBTQ+ community still experience discrimination and harassment to this present day. Many people throughout human history had to endure hate, harassment, discrimination, social exclusion, and even their death due to their sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity.
