Why Gay Prides?

There are many reasons why there are gay pride events and celebrations around the world. One of the primary reasons is to celebrate and promote LGBTQ+ visibility, rights, and acceptance. Historically, the LGBTQ+ community has faced discrimination, violence, and oppression. Gay pride events, which started as protests and demonstrations for LGBTQ+ rights, were a way to challenge the status quo and demand equality and justice. Today, they serve as a way to celebrate the progress that has been made towards LGBTQ+ equality, while also recognizing the work that still needs to be done.
