For six days in 1969, young lesbian, gay and transgender individuals demonstrated in response to a police raid made on the Stonewall Inn \u2014 a staple bar in the underground gay community \u2014 in Manhattan’s West Village. Later known as the Stonewall Uprising or Stonewall Riots, the raid and subsequent rebellion was a major statement in which the LGBTQ community stood up for their freedom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This June marks the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. For the first time in the US, WorldPride 2019\/Stonewall50 will be paying homage to this turning-point in our nation’s history. During the course of the month, over 50 events will draw people from around the globe to learn, celebrate, have fun and make a statement in a time where equality is not a certainty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While the epicenter of the official events slated for WorldPride 2019\/Stonewall50 is in New York City, there are also plenty of satellite events planned across New York State. Many are family-friendly, presenting parents with an opportunity to inspire a passion for human rights and social justice for all people, including the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
