Pride Month is celebrated each year in June to honor the memory of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. Members of the transgender, bisexual, lesbian, gay and queer community (more specifically, transgender people of color) had grown angry at the continual police harassment they received across the city. Tensions rose and one night at the Stonewall Inn, a popular bar in Greenwich Village, members of the LGBTQ+ community, led by Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, fought back against this abuse of power.
