Wrapped in multicolored flags and waving protest signs, revelers across the globe have gathered throughout Junefor Pride events— a monthlong celebration of the LGBTQ community that also symbolizes anongoing fightfor equal rights and inclusion. The roots of Pride Month stretch back to June 28, 1969, when a police raid on New York City'sStonewall Inn, a gay bar, led to several nights of clashes with the bar's LGBTQ patrons and others, which became known as the Stonewall Riots or Stonewall Uprising — a demonstration that's now considered the start of the LGBTQ rights movement. Marches took place in Manhattan, Chicago and San Francisco to mark the anniversary of Stonewall the following June, and, over time, it became an annual event in more and more cities. Pride Month first gained federal recognition in 1999 from then-President Bill Clinton. Pridemarches and festivals have been taking place throughout the month in different parts of the U.S. and around the world, andNew York's 2025 Pride march, honoring the legacy of Stonewall, is scheduled for Sunday. Here is a look at some of the events fromWashington, D.C., to Kathmandu and beyond.
