Pride Month traces its roots back to the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when LGBTQ+ individuals stood up against discrimination and fought for their right to exist authentically. This pivotal moment in history ignited a flame that still burns brightly today. #Stonewall50
Pride emerged from the pain and struggle faced by LGBTQ+ people who were marginalized, oppressed, and denied their basic human rights. It stands as a symbol of resilience, a testament to the indomitable spirit that rises in the face of adversity.

“In 1984, when Burks was 25 & a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend who had cancer. During one visit, she noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag.

She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had Gay-Related Immune Deficiency (GRID), later known as AIDS. On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Burks decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.
In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told her he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, "Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here 6 weeks. Nobody’s coming”. Burks called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her
Kuss-Verbot durch die Polizei am Tag des #CSD in #Siegen.

Finde es immer noch krass, dass es scheinbar in Deutschland öffentliche Orte gibt, an denen man sich nicht küssen darf, die Polizei einem das auch noch untersagt.

In der Stadt gab es verschiedene Stände um sich gegen die faschos zu positionieren.
In direkter Nähe am Kölner Tor auch die SPD, auf der anderen Straßenseite der @AStAUniSiegen.
Während der CSD Demo sollte es am Kölner Tor auch ein "kiss-in" geben.

False @jerseycornelia
People are imprisoned & killed for being gay.
I don't have the same rights you have. I have been fired from jobs, denied housing, thrown out of public accommodations, expelled from HS, put in a mental hospital for #conversiontherapy for being a #lesbian.

You dismissing the impact of #homophobia on the lives of millions, @jerseycornelia, is saying that you really couldn't care less about the oppression and violence that #LGBTQ people suffer.

Women athletes don't have to do anything but be athletes
And objects of adoration.

#NYCPrideparade: The #NYPD are the first to arrive at the Stonewall Inn today. Unlike 50 years ago, they didn’t come to raid it, but rather to celebrate and honor it.

CORRECTION: This was who was first to arrive at the Stonewall Inn during the #NYCPrideMarch. Then the NYPD; and unlike 50 years ago, they weren’t looking to arrest the guy for having fun and celebrating love.

Don’t talk about #Stonewall50 if you’re not going to support trans ppl.
Don’t celebrate #Stonewall if you’re not going to fight for queer & trans ppl of color.
Don’t claim OUR history if you don’t intend to continue to struggle for freedom & justice for ALL queer & trans folks.

This means supporting sex workers.
This means fighting for disability justice.
This means condemning the prison industrial complex.
This means recognizing cis privilege.
This means no fucking cops & corporations at #Pride.

Há 50 anos, #LGBTQI 🏳disseram basta e resistiram à violência no #StoneWall50. Foram 6 dias de marchas, iniciadas em 28.6.1969 após ataque a bar gay pela polícia de Nova York. De lá para cá, avanços enormes ocorreram na luta por direitos e igualdade, mas desafios permanecem.
O Brasil ainda é um dos países mais perigosos do mundo para LGBTQI, conforme dados da @abgltbr e do Grupo Gay da Bahia. Por isso, o ativistas permanecem fundamentais. Eles lutam, apesar dos riscos, para proteger a vida de pessoas que querem ser livres para existir e amar.
Vamos celebrar este dia #Pride19 encorajando e apoiando ativistas do movimento LGBTQI. Lutar por igualdade é também uma forma de lutar contra a corrupção #AmorÉAmor #LoveIsLove ❤💙💜💚💛🧡🖤
E hoje, no dia 28 de junho, dia do #OrgulhoLGBT, fico sabendo da notícia de que o governo de @jairbolsonaro matou o Conselho Nacional de Combate à Discriminação LGBT (CNCD-LGBT). Segue o fio para entender o que era o CNCD e o que aconteceu com ele. #Pride2019 #Pride #Stonewall50
Para quem não sabe, o CNCD-LGBT foi um mecanismo participativo em que representantes da sociedade civil e do governo se reuniam para discutir as políticas públicas LGBT. Ali se fiscalizava o que existia, mas também propunha novas políticas
O CNCD surgiu em 2001 como um conselhão que agregava diversos temas e populações. O tempo passou, outros conselhos específicos foram sendo criados e o CNCD meio que sobrou pra gente. Aí no final de 2010 ele foi reestruturado e se tornou o CNCD-LGBT mdh.gov.br/informacao-ao-…
For those who invoke #Eisenhower as a "good" Republican, please remember he ordered the firings of all homosexuals working for the US govt in 1953: Nearly 3,000 people.

To celebrate #PrideMonth, we have a special moment of our own to share… The first time a Pride flag has ever flown from our @NewYorkFed offices. 🏳️🌈 #MomentsOfPride #Pride #WorldPride #Stonewall50
Hi, I’m Kathi. I grew up a military brat and lived all over, including Tunisia & Bolivia. I’m grateful for the exposure to different cultures and social settings as I grew up. I believe it helped me understand myself and others in more profound ways. #MomentsOfPride #Stonewall50
The basis of the LGBTQ+ community is so fundamentally basic to human nature: equality, self-love, and acceptance. I find it no coincidence that synonyms of the word ‘gay’ are cheerful, jolly, and vivacious. It’s a human right to live an enjoyable life. #MomentsOfPride #PrideMonth
1/ Happy #PrideMonth!
This year, @HRC is celebrating 50 years of #Pride, and two momentous anniversaries in #LGBTQ history: the 50th anniversary of the uprising at #Stonewall in 1969 and the first Pride parade a year later. #Stonewall50 #Pride2019

2/ In the earliest hours of June 28, 1969, a group of LGBTQ people reached their tipping point. They were peacefully enjoying the evening at the #Stonewall Inn in New York City when police raided the bar and started hauling out the patrons.
3/ No longer willing to take the harassment and discrimination, the LGBTQ individuals at #Stonewall fought back. Their protest lasted six days … and sparked a movement that is still building today. #Pride2019
