June is LGBT Pride Month! While some Pride events have already passed, the majority of celebrations are held this month to commemorate the anniversary of the New York City Stonewall Rebellion in June of 1969. These marches and gatherings serve to recognize the history of the LGBT movement, its advances, struggles and its community. In addition to the New York City Pride week, celebrated June 21- 28, below is a list of a few Pride events happening across the country this year.

You left Milwaukee off your list. It is one of the largest Pride events in the country. 3 days of Pridefest on the city's permanent festival grounds. There are multiple stages with performances all day and night, including many nationally/internationally knownl acts, as well as a huge dance pavilion every night of the festival. Milwaukee may be a small city, but PrideFest is not. There are not many places where the even lasts for 3 days, and there is so much going on all in the name of Pride. Check it out. http://pridefest.com This year the celebration begins on June 5th and ends on the 7th.
