    The first pride was a riot where trans black women bricked cops in the Greenwich Village of Manhattan, in front of the Stonewall Inn. The LGBT movement existed before it, but essentially grew out of the riot, and that’s the justification many have for including minority races within the LGBTQIA+ flag. But, many say the inclusion makes it nothing more than a minority flag, and thus belittles it. People can argue over which side is right, but imo that argument distracts from the far more important things to focus on… such as trans women being one of the most common minorities to be murdered.

    This is a picture of Marsha P. Johnson, who is claimed to have started the riot
