55th Pride

The annual LGBTQ+ Parade is held on Market Street in San Francisco, drawing an attendance of over a million people.

Pride Month commences on Saturday, June 1, and concludes on Sunday, June 30, marking the 55th anniversary of a journey that spans over half a century since the seminal events at the Compton Cafeteria (San Francisco, 1966) and Stonewall Inn (New York City, 1969) riots. These were pivotal moments that catalyzed the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, igniting a movement dedicated to achieving equality and acceptance.

The courage and tenacity of those who stood up have motivated subsequent generations to persist in the battle against prejudice and to advocate for the freedom to live openly and genuinely. While honoring these significant historical moments, we also celebrate the dynamic diversity and ingenuity of the LGBTQ+ community, which persistently contributes to society and advances the cause for a more inclusive tomorrow.
