It is June 1, which is the start of Pride Month. Pride started in June 1969 from the Stonewall Riots when patrons of a gay bar in Greenwich Village fought back against a violent, discriminatory police raid. Now, Denver is one of several cities across the country with celebrations all month long, this year being the 52nd. There are many changes with Denver Pride this year. The free celebrations will be moved from Civic Center Park to 16th Street.
