Finally, what is commemorated this month is the struggle of the LGTBIQ+ movement for the recognition of their rights and the visibility of forms of violence and discrimination, of which its members have been the focus. In this context, both those who are part of the community and the people who support them have humorously confronted the rejection of some sectors of society on social networks.
What the LGTBIQ+ community celebrates on June 28
On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall riots occurred, where, during a police raid on a bar in New York, people who were in and around the site were victims of abuse by the authorities. After the violent incident, members of the community, especially trans women who were also segregated for being African-American, as defenders of different social causes, began to demonstrate against discrimination and hate attacks.
It should be remembered that the 1960s were key for social movements, since many of them began to gain strength and recognition in United States society, such as the African-American movement for civil rights.
