The concept of “Pride” has evolved dramatically over the years into just that - pride.
Within the next few years, the marches expanded and became a staple in American culture, with President Bill Clinton officially commemorating June as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. After the devastating Stonewall Riots in New York City, the first-ever Gay Pride marches took place across the country. “A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart - oh, no, it’s curved like a road through mountains.”Ī lot has changed since the first-ever Pride celebration.
