WHY DO WE COMMEMORATE THE PRIDE DAY ON 28TH JUNE?
The LGBT Pride day is the day of the year when the LGBT movement shares and reaffirms the feeling of personal pride showing their social and gender orientation through demonstrations and parties all around the world. It manifests the fact that people don’t have to be ashamed of who they are.
Why have they chosen 28th June for it? On that date in 1969 the police repressed a group of people concentrated in the Stonewall Inn, a bar that homosexual people used to frequent in New York. This episode unleashed the first manifestations of the LGBT community looking for equal rights and visibility.
