The time has come to celebrate Pride Month, and you might be curious about the origins of these events. LGBTQIA+ pride events, which include parades and festivals, began in major urban centers to foster acceptance and legal protection for the LGBTQIA+ community. Over the past 50 years, these pride events—parades, marches, and demonstrations—have evolved significantly, becoming a safe space to celebrate love and joy within the community.
Although these events originated from a political standpoint, many cities around the world now have a high level of legal protection and acceptance for their local LGBTQIA+ communities. As a result, pride events have spread nationwide, inviting everyone to join the celebration. Major cities such as New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Madrid host some of the largest events in the world, attracting crowds of up to 5 million people. GU aims to guide those looking to travel and immerse themselves in these events while supporting the local LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you are traveling alone or with friends, create a memorable and exciting experience by attending any of these events around the world.
