Before the Stonewall uprising, the LGBTQ community had a quiet presence in the public sphere. Pride celebration traces its origin to the Stonewall inn uprising in 1969. For decades, the LGBTQ community has hosted pride parades across major urban cities worldwide to spread awareness about the persecution, stigma, and social ostracism associated with homosexuality. The pride festival serves as a dual celebration of the achievement and progress of the queer movements in the fight for equal rights.
The gay pride parade, also known as the pride festival or pride march, is a global event annually across urban cities to celebrate the diversity, rights, achievement, liberation, and pride of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
