The following is a calendar of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) events. While the primary focus is on gay pride parades, the calendar also embraces a spectrum of events, ranging from sporting events to film festivals, including celebrations such as Christopher Street Day. These events transcend geographical boundaries and reflect the enduring impact of the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village. Originating in June 1969, these riots marked a pivotal moment in queer history, shaping diverse social movements and catalyzing the establishment of Pride parades on a global scale.^[1]
