Pride Month is celebrated worldwide in June to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising, which took place in 1969 in New York City. The Stonewall Inn is a popular gay bar in Greenwich Village, and at the time of the uprising, it was subject to police riots and harassment due to discriminatory laws and societal prejudices against homosexuality at the time.
