Celebrate Pride By Knowing Its History: Happy Pride




Pride is a deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own accomplishments, the accomplishments of those with whom one is closely associated, or qualities or possessions that are widely admired. The word "pride" comes from the French word "prud," which is a late Old English word that means "excellent, splendid, arrogant, haughty." "Having a high opinion of oneself" is thought to reflect Anglo-Saxons' view of Norman knights who called themselves "proud."

What Exactly Is The Meaning Of Pride?

The quality or state of being proud: for example.
A: Excessive self-esteem: conceit
B: Justifiable or reasonable self-respect
C: Joy or elation caused by some act, possession, or relationship parental pride
 

LGBT Pride:

LGBT Pride (also known as gay pride) is the promotion of self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of the social group lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT). Pride, rather than shame and social stigma, is the dominant attitude that fuels most LGBT rights movements. Pride has inspired organisations, institutes, foundations, book titles, periodicals, a cable TV station, and the Pride Library.
 
Pride events, which can range from solemn to carnivalesque, are typically held during LGBT Pride Month or another period that commemorates a watershed moment in a country's LGBT history, such as Moscow Pride in May for the anniversary of Russia's 1993 decriminalisation of homosexuality. Pride events include LGBT pride parades and freedom rides, rallies, commemorations, society days, dance parties, and festivals.
 
The rainbow flag and other pride flags, the lowercase Greek letter lambda, the pink triangle, and the black triangle are all familiar symbols of pride. The latter two were reclaimed from use as badges of shame in Nazi concentration camps.

Pride Parade:

A pride parade (also known as a pride march, pride event, or pride festival) is an outdoor event that celebrates lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people's social and self-acceptance, achievements, legal rights, and pride.

The events also advocate for legal rights such as same-sex marriage. Most pride events take place on an annual basis, with some taking place in June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, a watershed moment in modern LGBTQ social movements.

The parades aim to foster community and honour the movement's history. Around the first anniversary of Stonewall, pride and protest marches were held in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco. The events became annual and spread globally. Stonewall 50 - WorldPride NYC 2019, produced by Heritage of Pride to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, was the largest international Pride celebration in history in 2019, with five million people attending in Manhattan alone.

Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019
Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019 was a series of LGBTQ events and celebrations held in June 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City. It was also the first WorldPride to take place in the United States. The theme for the celebrations and educational events, which took place primarily in the metropolitan New York City area, was "Millions of Moments of Pride." The celebration was the largest LGBTQ event in history, with an estimated five million people attending Pride weekend in Manhattan alone, including an estimated four million at the parade. The twelve-hour parade featured 150,000 pre-registered participants from 695 different groups.

Heritage Of Pride
Heritage of Pride (HOP), also known as NYC Pride, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation that organises the official LGBTQIA+ Pride Week events in New York City each June. HOP began working on the events in 1984, taking over the work previously done by the Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee, organisers of the first March on Washington in 1970. HOP also took over the management of the New York City Pride Festival and Rally. The first march brought the Stonewall Riots to national attention in 1969. Throughout the United States in the late 1960s, there were numerous protests and riots against various social injustices and general political unrest, including the Vietnam War.

Following events in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago in June 1970, Pride chapters sprouted up across the country. In 1972, Pride London was the first non-US city to rally in support of gay rights, and Pride festivals (or Christopher Street Days) are now held on six continents. The official LGBTQIA+ Pride celebrations in New York City conclude on the last Sunday of June. Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island Pride chapters organise additional New York City events in the outer boroughs.
