It’s the 1st day of June, guys, which means that today marks the start of the month-long Pride celebrations! That being said, how do you celebrate Pride Month, do you know why it’s observed in June, and why is it referred to as “Pride?” Take a look at some random fun facts about Pride Month below and please, don’t hesitate to post any trivia we may have missed on the comments section:
- Brenda Howard—an American bisexual rights activist—is the “Mother of Pride.” She organized the first LGBTQ Pride March in 1970. Having a series of events for an entire week around the Pride march was also her idea.
- The first Pride marches were held on June 27, 1970 in Chicago and San Francisco; and in June 28, 1970 in New York to commemorate the Stonewall riots that happened a year prior.
- Why “Pride?” It was simply to encourage the LGBTQ community for taking pride of who we are, to be proud of being out of the closet, “our individual freedom, and on the diversity of the LGBTQ community.” Read this article for more information about this.
- Gilbert Baker’s iconic Rainbow Flag was first seen in public on June 25, 1978 during the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade.
- The Pride marches leaned towards political and social activism in the 80s especially during the height of the AIDS epidemic and social issues of the day have become the focus of Pride events.
- Former President Bill Clinton was the first United States president to officially declare a pride month. He declared June “Gay & Lesbian Pride Month” in 1999 and 2000.
- Former President Barack Obama declared June LGBT Pride Month every year from 2009 to 2016.

Time to proactively look back at how far we've come in our fight for equality and how far we have yet to go.
I say OUR fight towards equality because we cannot progress as a whole if some of us are left behind.
Happy Pride Month 2021, guys!
One year later –
but, it’s not the same…and I suspect…will not ever be the same?
Covid-19, a “Natural Phenomena,” used & abused, by politicians alike…to control the masses and pontificate Ideologies, for the common good of the politician but not for the common good of Mankind?
The damage is done…?
Stand up and BE PROUD. Are you registered to VOTE? Our VOTE is our VOICE. Now, more than ever is our time to be HEARD! Celebrate, enjoy our lives, and BE HEARD! ️ ️️
Carlos:
There is a problem with being seen & heard…synonymously…
the repetitions…the displays…the perceived behaviors…and, the constant brow-beatings by Gay Americans…synergized by Liberal America…
eventually, and most definitely…cause the majorities-of-the-world…to view us…with blind eyes and deaf ears…!
You can neither force acceptance nor prosper legal applications…to change a person’s mind…as to what he/she likes or accepts.
Legalization of a Lifestyle can be induce tolerance…but at a price…humans do not like to be forced to do anything… .
Here, here, true-that!
Registered to vote. Everyone should be. Not sure what it has to do with sexuality. As many members here have posted, they vote according a broad array of political and social issues that affect what is good for the country as a whole, not along the lines of a strict “pro-gay or no way!” agenda .
Carlos, get a clue, it doesn’t matter who you vote for, the corrupt lying lowlife politicians will do whatever they want anyhow.
This is a wonderful time for those gay individuals who feel a personal necessity to make their sexuality known to the public. And in doing so many of them say they do it for “our individual freedom, and on the diversity of the LGBTQ community.” But there is a large disconnect. Too often there is an intolerance of and a great disdain for gay individuals who do not feel the personal necessity to make their sexuality public. For the pro public group, somehow being born gay comes with requirements, obligations, and prescriptions for social behavior. Exactly what they say they are… Read more »
Overt d’ Espirit:
What you wrote is entirely what I wrote and posted…prior.
It usually comes down to the insignificants who are only seen and heard when they proselytize their sexual orientation, color, creed, nationality or the otherwise…
It is, always, so predictable & so mundane…which translates into the “Blind Eye & Deaf Ear” routine.
(Eye roll) Look, man, you’re only as sick as your secrets, ok! Why, should ANYBODY be forced to live in the fucking shadows, as those gays before present generations; prior to the movement that started it all “gay rights” Can you please answer me that? No, of course not! There’s a very old rhythm and blues song that my mother use to play, when I was playing with my Tonka-trucks, some of the lyrics, “what ever I am, you made me, what ever I done, you made me.” We’re like the rest of the world we live in, a howling,… Read more »
Yea, go out and vote for the pandering Democrats who really don’t care about the safety, security or welfare of blacks, immigrants, the lgbtq community, women or anybody else. They just want ur vote so they can be in power for as long as possible.
