Discover the vibrant history and significance of LGBTQ+ Pride Month around the world!

Pride Month is here, and Lansing is making history by flying the rainbow Pride flag for the entire month of June, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in a grand way. From symbolic flag raisings to colorful parades, LGBTQ+ Pride Month is spreading its colors globally, recognizing and advocating for the rights of the community. While the U.S. faces challenges with bills targeting LGBTQ+ rights, other countries are expanding marriage rights for same-sex couples.

Hershey Entertainment & Resorts and the National Organization for Women are among the institutions commemorating Pride Month 2024, honoring the victories and progress made since the historic Stonewall Uprising in June 1969. The Stonewall riots paved the way for diverse LGBTQ+ stories and perspectives to be heard and celebrated, emphasizing the importance of unity and equality within the community.

Despite the commercialization of Pride parades, the essence of Pride Month remains rooted in activism and solidarity, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights on a global scale. Beyond the festivities, Pride festivals play a crucial role in promoting the physical and mental well-being of the LGBTQ+ community, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.

As we delve into the history and significance of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, it is essential to remember its roots in the Stonewall riots of 1969, which sparked a movement for equality. Whether sending supportive messages or attending Pride events, June is a time to honor and celebrate the resilience and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community, spreading love and acceptance worldwide.
