About Pride

Scottish Government on Twitter: "We're working to protect, promote and improve equality in Scotland. We want Scotland to be an inclusive country where everyone, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity,LGBTQ Pride Month is celebrated annually in June in honor of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which is considered the tipping point for the LGBTQ liberation movement in the US. On June 28, 1970, the first Pride March took place in New York City to commemorate the first anniversary of Stonewall, and Pride Marches have been celebrated annually and globally since on the last Sunday of June. Pride Month is dedicated to celebrate, advocate and educate on LGBTTQI+ issues globally.  It has also served as a time to honor those lost to hate crimes, HIV/AIDS, or lack of access to medicine and health services.

On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court struck down the ban on same-sex marriage in all 50 states, including some US territories such as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. This resulted in the legalization of same-sex marriages and the requirement to honor out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses.
