Every year, millions of people take to the streets to celebrate Pride, a global movement for LGBTQ+ visibility, equality and community. What started with the Stonewall Riots in New York City in 1969 has grown into the world's largest civil rights celebration. From London to São Paulo, from Sydney to Berlin, Pride events bring people together in a shared call for acceptance and equal rights.
Pride parades move through city centres with floats, dancers, activists and allies. Participants dress in colourful outfits or simply come as they are. The events raise awareness for LGBTQ+ rights and celebrate the diversity of the community. In many countries, the fight for equal marriage, adoption rights and protection against discrimination continues.
