Pride or pride is an annual celebration to celebrate LGBT rights and progress that has been achieved in achieving equality of rights.
Pride was first held in 1970 in New York City after the Stonewall riots.
Pride activities around the world are usually held in June as a tribute to the Stonewall riots on June 28, 1969.
The rainbow flag which is often associated with pride activities was first made by Gilbert Baker in 1978.
The rainbow flag consists of six colors, namely red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, each of which symbolizes different meanings.
In Indonesia, the pride activity was first held in the 1980s in Jakarta, but was dissolved by the authorities.
Only in 2008, the official pride event was held in Jakarta under the name Q! Film Festival.
Although it has not been officially recognized by the government, pride activities in Indonesia are growing and held in various cities throughout Indonesia.
Some activities that are usually held in pride events include parade, music concerts, art exhibitions, and panel discussions.
Pride activities are considered important because they help eliminate discrimination and increase understanding and tolerance towards LGBT throughout the world.
