Guide Title
Pierce Library invites you to join us in celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride Month! Pride is a time to celebrate the diverse and unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ folks, remember the activism that has helped achieve greater LGBTQIA+ rights and acceptance over the years, and take stock of how the movement still has room for improvement.
Pride is celebrated every June to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when a violent police raid of a popular gay bar in New York City called Stonewall Inn sparked nearly a week of spontaneous protests. While there was plenty of LGBTQ+ activism before 1969, Stonewall is widely regarded as a turning point and catalyst for the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement in the United States. The first Pride marches were held on June 28, 1970 on the one-year anniversary of Stonewall. Read more about the Stonewall Uprising.
