Gay Pride Day
The International LGBT+ Pride Day, also known as Gay Pride Day, is celebrated every year on June 28. LGBT+ communities organize events to express their support for the fight for equality and dignity for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals. In many countries around the world sexual diversity is persecuted and criminalized by laws and the authorities, though some countries recognize sexual diversity at the national level. Society is still far from accepting a reality that should have been normalized long ago.
