Pride Month is recognized every year in commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, which involved police raiding the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The raid provoked six days of protests that have since been credited for shifting LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.
