It’s June and that means it’s Pride Month. People in cities worldwide will be celebrating this most important and historical month celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.
在六月份的庆祝活动是为了纪念 石墙起义1969年发生在曼哈顿的起义。也被称为 石墙暴动这一切开始于 "纽约市警察突袭位于纽约市格林威治村的同性恋俱乐部--石墙旅馆"。随之而来的是一场骚乱，随后是抗议和与警察的冲突。"石墙暴动成为美国和全世界同性恋权利运动的催化剂"。
纽约市的骄傲
1970 was the first year of the NYC Pride March. The Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee put it together and has continued yearly to this day.
Today, Heritage of Pride, a nonprofit group, plans, organizes and produces New York City’s LGBTQIA+ Pride events. “Heritage of Pride works toward a future without discrimination where all people have equal rights under the law.” Through events that inspire and educate, Heritage of Pride also celebrates the diverse community and ensures safe events. Colorful and uplifting parades, festivals, and joyous celebrations are among the principal components of LGBTQ Pride Month celebrated in June in the United States as well as around the world.
If you’re in New York City in June, make sure you take part in the many celebrations leading up to the June 25th NYC Pride March. Pride festivities start on June 1 with Brooklyn Made’s Pride Kick-off with an imaginative, maximalist indie rock band, followed by Funky Reggae House Party on June 3rd where queer selectas, vendors, and amazing food and drinks will be served. On June 26th mingle with fellow EQUAL members in the NYC area at EQUAL NYC social hour where they will be pouring it up at the Industry Bar, and all you have to do is style it up!
The official theme for 2023 is “Strength in Solidarity,” which was announced amidst a backdrop of increased attacks against members of the LGBTQIA community. NYC Pride seeks to illuminate the good that can and has been accomplished through support.
It all comes together on June 25th at the Pride March. Beginning at noon, at 25th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It eventually passes the Stonewall National Monument as well as the New York City AIDS Memorial, and then it ends in Chelsea. New York City does Pride like no other city. Expect to be out late to celebrate!
Can’t make it in person? Not to worry, for the sixth year in a row, the NYC Pride March will be broadcast on ABC-7.

在巴黎一定要庆祝同性恋者的骄傲
Back in 1981, the Paris Pride event was held for the first time. Today, there are more than half a million people who take part in the streets of Paris. From colorful floats to loud music, it’s the perfect time to take to the streets of Paris and support the LGBTQ+ population.
So, if you’re in Paris in June, it’s the perfect place to celebrate Gay Pride. The city starts off with Marche des Fiertes, LGBT (Pride Fortnight) which is two weeks filled with shows, exhibitions, debates, and partying.
What was formerly known as Gay Pride is now LGBTQI+ Pride March and is back this summer in Paris for the 2023 edition which is set for June 24th. Catch the parade leaving from the Station Michel Bizot in the 12th arrondissement, which will end at the Place de la République.
This parade kickstarts the summer season of parties and events around the city. When the procession finishes, the Pride celebration continues with parties spilling out into adjoining streets to the many nearby gay cafes, bars, and clubs.
看马德里，一起庆祝骄傲
A great destination for pride, Madrid celebrates with event dates from Friday, June 23rd, to Sunday, July 2nd. The actual Madrid Parade will take place on July 1st.
“Madrid is one of the best LGBTQ+ destinations in the world and its annual Pride is a must-attend for thousands of people from across the world.”
Celebrations in Madrid start on June 23, around the time of International Pride Day (June 28) which is when the Stonewall Riots occurred. Expect a week of everything from political activism to cultural events, and fun activities. It all comes together for the big day: the Madrid Pride Parade (usually from Atocha train station to Plaza de Colón).
There are so many activities to do and while held in the Chueca neighborhood, Pride is not just for this neighborhood; it’s held over the entire city. You’ll find a host of concerts and shows in various plazas.
Outdoor concerts will be held on six stages during this eventful week, with the closing party on Sunday, July 2.
在自豪月期间，无论你在世界哪个地方，都很可能有一个游行，以显示团结和人数的力量。去吧，骄傲!
