Misster x JOHN REED Fitness Pride Rideħ p.m. Clear your calendars for these wild, naked, colorful and even chocolate-filled pride celebrations. Many events span over days filled with festivities and celebration. Today the Stonewall Riots are celebrated in an array of events across the U.S. Throughout the last half century, that march has evolved into pride month. The next year, New Yorkers memorialized the anniversary with the first pride march. What resulted was six days of confrontation and riots as the LGBTQ community fought back against police for rights and liberation. On June 28, 1969, New York police stormed the Stonewall Inn, a Greenwich Village gay bar, dragging employees and guests out of their haven.
This year marks 53 years since the Stonewall Uprising.
