What is Pride Month All About?

In today’s No Silly Questions episode, Willow traces the origins of Pride to its roots in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal rebellion against anti-LGBTQ+ oppression that sparked the first Pride marches in 1970. Today, Pride blends celebration and resistance-honoring progress while confronting ongoing challenges like anti-trans legislation and rising hate crimes. Showing up isn’t just about parades; it’s a declaration that LGBTQ+ lives matter and it’s a rejection of hate. Learn more about Pride events at outcenter.org/pride.
