Pride parade is an annual event which is held to celebrate the LGBT community. It is also known as pride marches, pride events and pride festivals.

The events also provide a platform for activists who favor same-sex-marriage.

Every June, “interested” demonstrators gather at different locations around the world, celebrating their widely misconstrued sexual orientations — lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

Most pride events are held in honor of the Stonewall riots, which proved a pivotal moment in modern LGBT social movements.
