This year's celebrations, of course, have been a bit different as parades and events have been canceled due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. And while Stonewall took a violent turn, modern Pride celebrations are known for being family-friendly and many participants bring their children to take to the streets to celebrate gay pride.
Pride Month has been celebrated for decades, officially beginning in June 1970, a year after the Stonewall riots of 1969 - six days of confrontations between the gay community and police officers in New York City - jumpstarting the gay rights movement around the world.
Indeed, there are many beautiful and fun photos of parents and kids celebrating Pride from over the years that help document how families have joined together to celebrate diversity and inclusion. Every June, families and folks around the world - painted in glitter and waving rainbow flags - celebrate Pride Month at parades to celebrate love and lift up the LGBTQ community.
