The first Pride march took place on June 28, 1970 to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, NY. The Stonewall Uprising occurred over six days, following the raid of a gay bar during which police brutalized the LGBTQ+ patrons. Stonewall served as a catalyst for the Gay Liberation Movement, spearheading the emergence of various activist groups throughout the United States and around the world. The month of June is now designated as a time to highlight the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have had in history. To celebrate Pride Month, CLE launched a social media campaign to share LGBTQ+ resources and to highlight influential disabled LGBTQ advocates.
