55 years ago, marches were held in four U.S. cities – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco.
These marches were held one year after the Stonewall riots, and in many ways, could be considered the very first Pride parades.
The Stonewall riots of 1969 were a watershed moment for the gay rights movement, which later evolved to include members of other persecuted sexual minorities and became the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
And now, every June, we mark Pride Month.
