In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City staged an uprising to resist the police harassment and persecution to which LGBTQ Americans were commonly subjected. This uprising marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ Americans.<\/p>\n

This year June 2019 will commemorate the 50th<\/sup> Anniversary of Stonewall, for which New York City will host WorldPride. This is the first time WorldPride has been held in the United States (I wonder why, but I digress) and is expected to be the largest Pride celebration ever. It is expected that roughly 4.5 million people will line the streets of NY.<\/p>\n

Why is this important? It is important because the voices of the people are being \u201cUnleashed\u201d at a magnitude unseen before. Collectively, LGBT folks and allies will demonstrate that fighting and celebrating for LGBT humanity is an important and necessary cause.<\/p>\n
