LGBTQ Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City, which is commemorating its 50th anniversary this year. In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn staged an uprising to resist the police harassment and persecution to which LGBTQ Americans were commonly subjected. This uprising marked the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ Americans.

Nothing consummated this movement quite like the legalization of gay marriage. I hailed it in “Supreme Court Rules Same-Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide,” June 26, 2015.
