Pride celebration events are often the highlight of the LGBTQ community's yearly calendar. Such events are now held around the world and throughout the year.
Perhaps the most high profile event for the community is the Pride Parade. The world’s first Pride Parade, dubbed the Gay Liberation Parade, was held in New York City in 1970 on the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riot. Similar events quickly established themselves around the world, though they were small and regional events compared to the massively organized Pride Parades we witness today throughout the developed world. At the time, they were controversial and regarded disparagingly by the population in general. The LGBTQ community did not care, however – they viewed such parades as legitimate annual celebratory opportunities to affirm their identity, dress and act outrageously, freely congregate, and be happy as a community for one day in the life of a marginalized, suppressed population.
