In most places Pride Month is in June as it's the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York, 1969 when the NYPD attempted to shake down the Stonewall Bar in Greenwich Village and the patrons and Gay community decided they had had enough and fought back. its an event as iconic for a huge portion of the human race as Rosa Parks refusing to sit at the back of the bus, I'm actually shocked Pride isn't in June in Calgary
