💨 Abstract

In June, communities worldwide celebrate Pride Month, honoring LGBT history and advocating for acceptance. The origins date back to the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York, a pivotal moment in the gay rights movement. Pride events, though mostly in June, occur globally and welcome all identifying outside mainstream sexuality, including allies. The rainbow flag, designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, symbolizes the diversity within the LGBT community.
