Pride Celebrations From Across The Nation

By Morgan M. Hurley

Pride season is upon us! The inaugural Pride marches in New York and San Francisco took place in 1970, a year after the Stonewall riots, and they have since evolved into annual civil rights demonstrations in small towns and big cities across the nation.

The intent and purpose of these marches has expanded over the years to encompass raising awareness about the fight against AIDS and honoring those we have lost to illness, violence, and neglect.

It is also a time for us to honor ourselves and take pride in our right and ability to live our authentic lives. 

Below, we decided to share with you when and where Pride in all its forms is being celebrated in US cities both near and far this year.

June is the most traditional time to celebrate, but some locations, due to weather or other conflicts, opt for cooler months in the late fall. Some websites were still lacking in information at press time, so keep checking back. Regardless, these parties are getting started this month! Anyone up for a road trip!?
