Though Pride has only become accepted with a formal recognition during recent years, Pride Month has dated back decades. This month was used as a way for the LGBTQ community to celebrate who they are, without feeling shame from others. The Pride Month did not become formally accepted until 1999 when Bill Clinton recognized it.

Though Pride has only become accepted with a formal recognition during recent years, Pride MonthHe did so again during his last year in office in 2000. However, the next President, George W. Bush, never accepted it during his tenure. It was not until Barack Obama took office when Pride Month was back accepted and since then has become a global celebration during the month of June.

As far back as 1924, the LGBTQIA+ community has been planning a series of protests to fight for their rights. However, the Stonewall riots actually formed the foundation that granted them these rights. According to history, the riot lasted for days. After this period, the LGBTQIA+ community has been celebrating Pride Month. Bisexual activist Brenda Howard has been credited to be a major player in the organizing of Pride marches, which started a year after the incident.
