The annual Pride Month celebrations came out of a spontaneous LGBTQ+ fightback against police brutality at the Stonewall Inn, New York City, over 50 years ago. In the decades since that explosive event, the Pride movement has spread from New York to the UK, from the UK to Europe and today unites LGBTQ+ people and our allies in cities worldwide.
In UK Pride month 2025, the Pride UK team invite you to join us for a free lunchtime webinar when we look over Pride photography to remind us of battles lost and won in the long march for LGBTQ+ civil rights over the course of our lives, and look to the future together in what may be some very difficult times ahead.
This free webinar delivered over Zoom will address:
(1) The hostile climate endured by older generations of LGBTQ+ people
(2) Stonewall’s New York fightback against police brutality and the birth of Pride
(3) How London activists took up the baton for LGBTQ+ human rights in the UK
(4) Political repression in the UK and the national fightback against Section 28
(5) Pride triumphs as a community celebration, but for how long in these changing times?
