LGBT Pride Month, often shortened to Pride Month, is a month, typically June, dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride.[1] Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969. International LGBT Pride Day is a day dedicated to LGBT Pride. It is held on June 28 to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots,[10] making it part of Pride Month.

The first reference to an international pride day is likely by San Francisco Pride, whose march was entitled International Lesbian & Gay Freedom Day Parade between from 1981 to 1994.[11] In 1991, Serbian group Arkadija commemorated International Pride Day with a forum concerning queer activism and art at Belgrade Youth Center.[12] Nicaragua's first public pride festival was also held on this day 1991 to commemorate the Stonewall Riots.[13][14] Serbia also marked International Pride Day in between 2013 and 2015 with Hate-Free Zone actions, organized by GSA, Women in Black and other NGOs.
