Pride Month

During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation.

And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America. And we must confront the disproportionate levels of poverty, homelessness, and unemployment in the LGBTQI+ community. And we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping LGBTQI+ people in America and around the world live free from violence. Members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights. This month, we celebrate generations of LGBTQI+ people who have fought to make the possibilities of our Nation real for every American. During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month, we reflect on the progress we have made as a Nation in the fight for justice, inclusion, and equality while reaffirming our commitment to do more to support LGBTQI+ rights at home and abroad.

This year, the Pride March will take place on Sunday, June 26, 2022, in commemoration of the 53rd anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Meet at 12 p.m. on 25th Street and 5th Avenue to begin the March. We recommend following these LGBTQ+ environmental activists, each of whom speak to the intersection between environmentalism and LGBTQ+ rights. So as you wave your rainbow flag during Pride Month this year, make sure to take a moment to honor those who risked their lives to fight for equal rights. There is so much to celebrate during Pride Month, and Pride marches, festivals, and parties are a fantastic way to get into the spirit. The organization Heritage of Pride, aka NYC Pride, organizes the city’s Pride March and other Pride events every year. According to Heritage of Pride, on Oct. 13, 1979, the first National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights was held in D.C. This fell 10 years after the Stonewall Riots, and about a year after the assassination of gay politician Harvey Milk. This helped bring Pride celebrations and marches to the attention of people all across the U.S. As cops began arresting several bar-goers that night, those who had evacuated decided they could no longer stay silent. 9. New York City’s 2022 Pride March will commemorate the 53rd anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. According to the Library of Congress, Pride Month is celebrated in June to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, aka the Stonewall Riots. 6. The first Pride March was held on the anniversary of Stonewall. This raid led to a six-day series of protests outside of the Stonewall Inn and throughout the Village. Throughout the month of June, people around the U.S. — and a number of other countries — celebrate Pride Month every year, in honor of the LGBTQ+ community, and in commemoration of an important historical event.

At Lady Wong in the East Village, a delicate Indonesian rainbow cake made with natural dyes is a sweet way to celebrate.

The petite stack of thin, multicolored, slightly spongy gelatinous layers is meant to be eaten by peeling them off one by one. Twenty-five percent of sales of the cake will be donated to the Hetrick-Martin Institute for LGBTQIA+ Youth. Similar snacks, called kuih, are sold at the shop, as are rich desserts like a pandan tiramisù, a cassava cake and a passion fruit-calamansi cake. June is Pride Month and to celebrate, the chefs Seleste Tan and Mogan Anthony — the owners of Lady Wong, an East Village bakery that specializes in Southeast Asian confections — offer a dazzling steamed Indonesian rainbow cake.

While the first U.S. Pride Parade took place in 1970, it wasn't until 23 years later that thousands of lesbians would take to the streets in their own march to fight for their rights and visibility. Turquoise and pink were dropped from the six-color flag recognized today because the fabric colors were hard to find at the time for mass production (via Britannica). In 2015, Baker chatted with CNN about the flag and recalled the day of the parade. Those within the community also drew the lambda symbol on their outfits and signs, making it easy for the growing gay population to know that a gay event was happening (via QSaltLake). When the committee was thinking of a slogan for their event, Schoonmaker suggested the phrase "Pride." In a 2015 interview with "The Allusionist," the activist spoke about how he conceived the popular slogan. According to Schoonmaker, the committee took a vote and decided to call the weekend "Gay Pride Weekend," and added, "That's how the movement was most useful, because they thought, Maybe I should be proud." That's when he came up with "Gay Pride." Schoonmaker thought that the feeling of self-esteem would make people more joyful, which in turn would help create the movement with hopes to spark change. A year later, Howard formed a committee to plan one of the country's first pride parades: the Christopher Street Liberation Day March. She has also been recognized for laying the foundation for Pride's weeklong festivities that led up to the big modern-day parades that now take place worldwide. Howard also participated in the Gay Liberation Front where she served as a chair of the organization. People from Boston, Washington, D.C., and even organizations from universities such as Columbia, Rutgers, and Yale came to participate in the event (via NPR). On that evening in May, two officers allegedly visited the eatery and asked for the identification of several customers, including Rechy. Officers then reportedly proceeded to arrest them without cause. From the origins of the Pride Parade to the meanings behind each rainbow flag color, here are vital facts about the history of Pride Month. Every summer in the United States, the LGBTQ+ community comes together for a month-long celebration of love, acceptance, diversity, and unashamed self-pride.

Frank’s minor in queer and sexuality studies was first offered at USF in 2018 and examines the rich history and cultural contributions of LGBTQ+ people as well as the processes that have structured sexual relations in different contexts.

We just didn't have the words that we have now to talk about them,” Frank said. As a digital humanities intern at USF Libraries, Frank’s interest in queer fiction eventually led her to create a digital exhibit that investigates themes and events in queer history and literature.
