June is here and that means summer has arrived and hopefully the days will be getting warmer and sunnier! Thankfully, the UK LGBTQ+ scene and those around the world are gradually opening up after a difficult year. However, some Prides and other events are to remain virtual, sadly, such as the UK’s Brighton & Hove Pride which recently announced it would not be able to go ahead as a physical event in August because of the complex planning needed.
So please check PinkUk listings to find the latest on which Prides are taking place. In this edition we look at some hot tips for summer and update on some of the things you need to know about the easing of lockdowns. On another note, 28 June is the 52nd anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York City which was a hugely significant event in giving LGBTQ+ communities the freedoms they enjoy in the US, UK and many other countries today. This was the birth of prides that now take place around the world.
Monday 28 June is the 52nd anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising or riot as it is sometimes called, in New York City. It was a spontaneous three-day campaign of civil disobedience against police brutality of LGBTQ+ people whose safe spaces was threatened.
|
The customers of the Stonewall fought back when the police became violent. The uprising triggered the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement in the US and UK and elsewhere and ultimately the thousands of Pride festivals we know today across the world. We have these brave people to thank for many of our freedoms in the West today.
Love & Pink Respect from Dave & the team, PinkUk
