Tabla de contenidos

Gay Pride is an international event that seeks to make visible, promote and celebrate sexual and gender diversity. In Spain, the struggle for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community has been significant over the years. The gay pride movement in the country had its beginnings in the 1970s, when the first activists began to organize and demand equality.

The first official gay pride event in Spain took place in Barcelona in 1977, and since then it has become an annual celebration in many Spanish cities, especially in Madrid, where one of the largest gay pride demonstrations in the world is held. During the month of June, thousands of people gather to march through the streets in a festive and vindictive atmosphere.

WHY IS GAY PRIDE CELEBRATED ON JUNE 28TH?

The choice of June 28 as the date to celebrate Gay Pride has a significant history behind it. This date commemorates a pivotal event that took place in 1969 in New York, known as the Stonewall Riots.

At the time, discrimination and violence towards LGBTQ+ people was a normal, everyday occurrence. Bars and clubs frequented by the LGBTQ+ community faced constant repression by law enforcement. One such place was the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood.

In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, the police raided the Stonewall Inn, as they had done on previous occasions. This time, however, the LGBTQ+ community decided to stand up and resist. The raid sparked a series of clashes and protests that lasted several nights.

The Stonewall Riots marked a turning point in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. They served as a catalyst for community organizing and mobilization, which began to fight with greater strength and determination for equality and respect.
