About Pride Month

LGBT Pride Month is a month, typically June, dedicated to the celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride. Pride Month began after the Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread outside of the United States.

Why Pride Month Matters in Dance Music

Pride Month holds significant importance for electronic music due to its celebration of LGBTQ+ representation and their immense contributions to the genre.

Electronic music has deep historical ties to queer and marginalized communities, with genres like disco, house, and techno emerging from these spaces as platforms for self-expression and liberation.

Pride Month serves as a catalyst for promoting inclusivity, recognizing this rich history, and addressing social issues within the electronic music community. It provides essential platforms for LGBTQ+ artists to showcase their talents, fostering visibility and acceptance.

Ultimately, Pride Month signifies the celebration of diversity, the amplification of LGBTQ+ voices, and the continued progress towards a more inclusive and welcoming electronic music community.
