Pride in Love, Support, and Survival

To finish Pride Month 2024, where should we start? The Stonewall Uprising against oppression and homophobia? On June 28, 1970, marking the first anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the inaugural Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Thousands of LGBT+ individuals gathered to honor the Stonewall legacy and advocate for equal rights. The community didn’t know what was coming in the next decade… yet they would prove again, sometimes with their lives, that supporting each other and fighting for survival takes perseverance and love in the face of hate.
