The second “Pride Month Berlin” takes place from Wednesday June 2023 – the Stonewall Day – for four weeks, until Sunday, July 23.
Pride month is a time of celebration and recognition for the LGBTQ+ community. It is a time to honor the accomplishments of LGBTQ+ individuals, to reflect on the struggles and sacrifices made for equality, and to promote awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
The origins of Pride month can be traced back to the Stonewall riots in 1969, which were a series of violent protests by members of the LGBTQ+ community against police brutality and discrimination. These riots are considered a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement and sparked the creation of many LGBTQ+ organizations and advocacy groups.
