I love to code. I believe everything is programmed in a certain way to make it work. From human brains to every single command in the machines.

There are a lot of people who celebrate pride month, especially those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. This first started in the United States because this is done to commemorate the Stonewall Riots. It may have been decades ago when the riots happened, but this is still being commemorated to recognize the type of effect that the community has done.

People who are part of the LGBTQ community would like to become recognized for the things that they have done and their various accomplishments. There are two presidents of the United States that have declared a pride month. There are also some countries wherein this is also being celebrated.

“Pride” is celebrated in the month of June. It is a time dedicated to acknowledging the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) in society. The LGBTQ community was not enjoying equal civil rights like others, which prompted the liberation movement in the United States.

The riot for freedom started on June 28, 1969, where a group of gay people in Greenwich Village called “Stonewall inn” was furious at the maltreatment of the police towards the gay community, and they decided to stand their ground against such treatment.

This lead to the breakout and riot. Pride month is celebrated in honor of the 1969 Stonewall uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall uprising was for the liberation movement of Gay in the United States; it was originally celebrated on the last Sunday in June as Gay pride day.

Every year, during the month of June, millions around the world celebrate Pride month. This month is celebrated to recognize the LGBTQ community. Pride month is important because for decades, the LGBTQ community was looked at as not a normal part of society.

In every aspect of their life, they were judged for their sexuality choices. Only in recent years have laws been passed to ensure they have equal rights, despite their sexuality. Pride is an important month because it celebrates a community that has brought so much to the world. It is also used to educate those on how to treat the community.
