This year's Pride in London parade will take place on Saturday, July 2.

Stonewall did not create a movement; LGBTQ+ activism had taken an organised shape in the 1920s, if not before. They have peacefully protested injustices not only facing the LGBTQ+ community, but many other marginalised groups. But on this particular night, the bar fought back.

During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation.

And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America. And we must confront the disproportionate levels of poverty, homelessness, and unemployment in the LGBTQI+ community. And we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping LGBTQI+ people in America and around the world live free from violence. Members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights. This month, we celebrate generations of LGBTQI+ people who have fought to make the possibilities of our Nation real for every American. During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation in the fight for justice, inclusion, and equality while reaffirming our commitment to do more to support LGBTQI+ rights at home and abroad.

There is so much to celebrate during Pride Month, and Pride marches, festivals, and parties are a fantastic way to get into the spirit. The organization Heritage of Pride, aka NYC Pride, organizes the city’s Pride March and other Pride events every year. According to Heritage of Pride, on Oct. 13, 1979, the first National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights was held in D.C. This fell 10 years after the Stonewall Riots, and about a year after the assassination of gay politician Harvey Milk. This helped bring Pride celebrations and marches to the attention of people all across the U.S. As cops began arresting several bar-goers that night, those who had evacuated decided they could no longer stay silent. 9. New York City’s 2022 Pride March will commemorate the 53rd anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.

Throughout the month of June, people around the U.S. — and a number of other countries — celebrate Pride Month every year, in honor of the LGBTQ+ community, and in commemoration of an important historical event.

At Lady Wong in the East Village, a delicate Indonesian rainbow cake made with natural dyes is a sweet way to celebrate.

The petite stack of thin, multicolored, slightly spongy gelatinous layers is meant to be eaten by peeling them off one by one. Twenty-five percent of sales of the cake will be donated to the Hetrick-Martin Institute for LGBTQIA+ Youth. Similar snacks, called kuih, are sold at the shop, as are rich desserts like a pandan tiramisù, a cassava cake and a passion fruit-calamansi cake.

While the first U.S. Pride Parade took place in 1970, it wasn't until 23 years later that thousands of lesbians would take to the streets in their own march to fight for their rights and visibility. Turquoise and pink were dropped from the six-color flag recognized today because the fabric colors were hard to find at the time for mass production (via Britannica). In 2015, Baker chatted with CNN about the flag and recalled the day of the parade. Those within the community also drew the lambda symbol on their outfits and signs, making it easy for the growing gay population to know that a gay event was happening (via QSaltLake). When the committee was thinking of a slogan for their event, Schoonmaker suggested the phrase "Pride." In a 2015 interview with "The Allusionist," the activist spoke about how he conceived the popular slogan. According to Schoonmaker, the committee took a vote and decided to call the weekend "Gay Pride Weekend," and added, "That's how the movement was most useful, because they thought, Maybe I should be proud." That's when he came up with "Gay Pride." Schoonmaker thought that the feeling of self-esteem would make people more joyful, which in turn would help create the movement with hopes to spark change. A year later, Howard formed a committee to plan one of the country's first pride parades: the Christopher Street Liberation Day March. She has also been recognized for laying the foundation for Pride's weeklong festivities that led up to the big modern-day parades that now take place worldwide. Howard also participated in the Gay Liberation Front where she served as a chair of the organization. People from Boston, Washington, D.C., and even organizations from universities such as Columbia, Rutgers, and Yale came to participate in the event (via NPR). On that evening in May, two officers allegedly visited the eatery and asked for the identification of several customers, including Rechy. Officers then reportedly proceeded to arrest them without cause. From the origins of the Pride Parade to the meanings behind each rainbow flag color, here are vital facts about the history of Pride Month. Every summer in the United States, the LGBTQ+ community comes together for a month-long celebration of love, acceptance, diversity, and unashamed self-pride.

by Becca Petunia | Jun 1, 2022 | Commentary, Feature. Stop me if you've heard this one, but I've got a question. Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

So yes, I do think it’s important that the various Henson-adjacent projects make these ideas “canonical” (or whatever passes for canon with the Muppet gang). Whether it’s introducing a new character or reimagining an old character in a new way, if these companies really want to support queer folks, this is essential. While I do still think it’s important that Disney, Sesame Workshop, and the Henson Company start making things more direct and apparent, we would be remiss in ignoring all the ways Muppet stuff makes us feel affirmed in our identities. So back to the rainbows, and back to the Muppets, because this is a Muppet fansite. They’re also a found family, who support their friends as loved ones, and embrace the differences and quirks that make each of them unique. There are human characters, like two male parents in that one GLAAD-award-winning episode of Sesame Street. But there are no Muppets who are consistently and explicitly portrayed as queer. They’re the corporation that currently owns the rights to the Flying Zucchini Brothers and the Talking Houses and Bean Bunny. Because of Disney’s negative reaction to Flordia’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill (a reaction only taken after protests by queer staffers and fans), conservatives are accusing Disney of being needlessly “woke” and “groomers” themselves.
