alone, more than half the states allow the use of the 'Gay Panic' defense. At such a crucial point in the fight for equality, we cannot let up. Unfortunately, some have passed, and in some nations not being straight is a criminal offense, even punishable by death. These proposed laws are cruel, unnecessary, and blatant discrimination. Doctors are finding it a real possibility that providing life-affirming care may be criminalized. Most of the laws target transgender people, specifically young people in sports. This year, there have been over 250 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced in state legislatures across the United States, and this trend is increasing across the world, too.

This process later become known as Conversion Therapy and has yet to be outlawed in many parts of the world.Īt a time when more and more people are finding the courage to come out and be proud of who they truly are, it is disheartening to see that people all over the world are being pushed out against their will and ostracized, and sometimes killed, for being themselves. In the 1950s, not long before the Stonewall Riots, Robert Galbraith Heath was experimenting on deep brain stimulation in a hope to “cure” homosexuality. This line of thinking unfortunately continued for quite some time, and even has remnants today. Prior to the Stonewall Riots, being gay or queer was seen as a sickness. It’s a celebration of people's identities, in a world that discourages people from doing so.

Pride is a celebration, yes but it is also a protest against the struggles people face while living in a homophobic society. This was the start of the Stonewall Riots, a violent stand against the police criminalizing LGBTQ+ identities. This riot would be the tipping point, starting the path for equality.

On Jat the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan, New York, a riot happened. Why do they feel the need to announce it, and why does there need to be a whole month for it? In the perfect world, this would not be necessary.

You may wonder why people are flying those rainbow flags every year shouting that they are proud. Pride is a reminder that while a lot of progress has been made over the past few decades, the fight is far from over and your help is needed. This year we would like you to join us in celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride Month for the month of June. At HackThisSite, we have always tried to be a safe, welcoming place for people from every walk of life.
