The History of Pride

In this episode, Heather shares an overview of Pride history, including the Stonewall Riots, why the pink triangle is a global symbol, and how the rainbow flag became the symbol for LGBTQ+ pride. She begins with the following anonymous quote:"LGBTQ pride was not born of a need to celebrate being LGBTQ, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn't a straight pride, be thankful you don't need one."If this episode piques your curiosity about the history of Pride, check out some of Heather's favorite resources:Websites* them.* The History Channel* BritannicaBooksGay & Lesbian History for Kids: The Century-Long Struggle for LGBT RightsPride: The Story of the LGBTQ Equality MovementWhat was Stonewall?
