With June's arrival, we celebrate Gay Pride Month. It's a time when the world's LGBTQ communities unite to celebrate the freedom they have to be themselves.
Pride Month also commemorates the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn in New York City.At the Greenwich Village gay bar one evening in late June of that year, the pain and frustration that the LGBTQ community felt reached its tipping point.
