The Year 1969 is considered a very important time for the LGBT Community, as it was the year that the Stonewall Riots took place within New York City.

The movement was the event that has lead to the gay liberation movement and is also one of the big motivations for the modern fight involving LGBT Rights across the world.

The Movement was a big step for the LGBT Community and allowed them to be where they are today.

In 1970 a year after the events of Stonewall Riots which were done to fight for LGBT rights, The LGBT Community held their first parade on the 28th of June 1970.

Signs were held up and a total of Around 150 Marchers, Marched from the Civic Centre Plaza, all the way to the Washington Square.

This Pride was the first of many future pride events we continue to see run today not only in the United states and United Kingdom, but all across the world.

In 1972 The UK Did their first movement in the Pride community with over 2000 participants walking all through Highbury Fields in North London.

It was the first to show of what Pride is in our modern day.

The intention was to show that homosexuals were proud, not ashamed and were determined to come out of the shadows and stand up for their rights.

It was called officially, The UK Gay Pride Rally which was done to equalize homosexuality for both gays and lesbians.

Pride in 2014 sought to go with freedom as the focus for this years pride, since same-sex marriage had become a reality in the United Kingdom during 2013.

People in the LGBT+ Community were asked what freedom meant to them.

It took place during the summer months of 2014 which contained 30 floats and 210 groups, even the rain couldn’t stop them!

There was even 30,000 football fans which 80% of them said that they would be comfortable if one of their players came out as gay.

In 2015 London Pride celebrated figures of the day and from history with a new hashtag called #PrideHeroes.

It started during the month of June around the same time where same-sex marriage was first legalised in the United States of America.

The history referenced was computer scientist Alan Turing who was a homosexual and was prosecuted, and a gay sports club called The King’s Cross Steelers.

2016 had a Pride festival that ran for over 2 weeks, which was much bigger in comparison to previous years.

This years pride had started from Portland Place and went to places including Regent Street, Oxford Circus, Waterloo Place, Trafalgar Square and finally Whitehall.

People such as Ian McKellen, Sophie Ward and Graham Norton had all taken part in the #NoFilter Advertisement which was made to encourage members of the LGBT+ community to come out and express themselves.

2017’s Pride was in two pieces. The first part was done to bring attention to hate crime against the LGBT+ Community, While the second part was done to focus more on the positive side of LGBT+.

Pride in 2017 Pride had also sought to strengthen the LGBT+ Community by looking at the positives, such as stories of the past. But it was also important to look at the negatives and fight against them.

2017 Also had marked the 45th year for pride marches and had a whopping 26,000 participants.

In 2018 Pride wanted to show that social movement for supporting LGBT Rights and equality is very important. There were over 1 million attendees in the event with around 30,000 participants.

The event took place from the 9th of June until the 7th of July which then the Parade followed right after.

The focus of 2018 was to show the hate crime that continues on a daily basis towards the LGBT+ Community and prevent it.

It had been 50 years since the Stonewall riots, which the Pride community celebrated to remember the 50 years of activism, protests and victories that were made back then and today.
