Against discrimination – Why we still need a Pride Month in 2024

Date:

June is Pride Month, which marks the end of all discrimination against gays. In times of gay marriages and protective laws, that should actually be unnecessary, right? Unfortunately, reality paints a very different picture.

In June 1969, visitors to the Stonewall Inn gay bar in New York resisted a raid and the associated police brutality. Tensions quickly escalated, with the city’s entire gay and lesbian community organizing in neighborhood riots that lasted three days. During this time, gay rights movements emerged and the Pride parades that are now popular in many cities, where people from the LGBTQ+ community celebrate that the world can be itself.
