About this listen

So you’re queer… but do you actually know where Pride comes from?


Before the parades, the rainbow merch, and the Instagram filters—Pride was a riot. A rebellion. A fight led by trans women of color, drag queens, and queer people who were tired of being policed, harassed, and erased.


This video breaks down the real history behind Pride:

🔥 The Stonewall Uprising

🔥 Police brutality and anti-crossdressing laws

🔥 The rumored first brick

🔥 Stormé DeLarverie, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and more


Pride didn’t start as a party—it started as resistance.

And if you’re out, loud, proud, or even just figuring it out—you’re part of that legacy.

You’re the future of this movement. 🏳️‍🌈
