Why is June Pride Month?


Listen Later

You’re probably familiar with the fact that June is Pride month, as it’s been the case for over 50 years now. And this week, we’re covering a range of topics that relate to Pride on Do You Really Know.

But how did the choice of June as Pride month come about originally? To understand this, you need to go back to the origins of the LGBTQI+ movement. In New York in 1970, the very first pride march was organised. It followed “Gay Power” marches, with that slogan giving way to “Pride”.

Where does the "Pride" part of the name come from? Why was this date chosen? How did we get from pride marches on June 28th to the whole of June being "Pride Month" then?

In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
