PinkUk's June's Newsletter

Issue No. 62 – June 2025

Budapest Pride 2025, Hungary, 28th June

June is pride month in the USA and some other countries to commemorate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots. The riots were a series of spontaneous protests by the LGBTQ+ community against a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, in New York. Pride Month starts with a bang with 23 prides on the 1st of the month alone and in the whole of June we have 505 prides listed. We must not be complacent about LGB rights. Here in the UK, UK Reform will not allow any LGBTQ+ flags being flown from public buildings under their control. Whilst in the USA things are a lot worse under Trump, who is erasing protections for LGBTQ people. Then there are some Eastern European countries like Hungary, see Budapest pride (above).
