Pride Time! 5 fast LGBT facts

  • 7 years ago
Pride Time! Pride month commemorates the Stonewall Inn riots. The Stonewall Inn was designated as a national landmark by then-President Obama in June 2016. The original Pride flag included two additional colors. It contained hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for the arts, indigo for harmony and violet for spirit. Months after the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the U.S. military, the U.S. Department of Defense made a major breakthrough by observing a Gay Pride event at the Pentagon in June 2012. The LGBT communities in Europe celebrate an annual pan-European international event called EuroPride since 1992, hosted by a different city every year. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
