2019 Pride Month – Same-Sex Marriage
Jun
The meaningful rainbow flag is waved high and mighty this month of June as it is celebrated as Pride Month here in Australia along with the rest of the globe. The LGBT community has made June a month-long celebration of the great contribution of the different sectors of the gay community and it also marks the huge progress that the community has achieved in terms of social acceptance and legal rights.
June has been chosen as Pride Month as it commemorates the Stonewall Inn riots in New York City back in 1969 and it was officially declared by then US President Barack Obama as LGBT Pride Month starting in 2009. LGBT Pride March has then become a worldwide gathering of the different members of the gay community in various key cities in the world, all joined together in marching towards promoting self-affirmation, dignity, and equal rights. The gathering also serves as a protest against discrimination of all kinds and forms, as more and more members of the gay community experience violence and abuse even in this modern day.
Part protest and part party, Pride Month celebration also aims to honour and raise social awareness regarding everybody in the LGBTQIA+ community, namely lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, queers, intersex, asexuals and other members of the diverse community included under the rainbow-coloured umbrella.
In Australia, different territories celebrate Pride Month in a variety of events and festivities and the colourful celebration from coast to coast. Like the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and the Annual Queen’s Ball Awards Gala in Brisbane, Australian members of the LGBT community get to celebrate Pride Month all year long with year-long parties and events with the rainbow flag flying high and proud.
