WHY GAY PRI STILL MATTERS AND ISN'T JT ABOUT PARAS AND PARTI
In 1978, artist and signer Gilbert Baker was missned by San Francis cy supervisor Harvey Milk – one of the first openly gay elected officials the US – to make a flag for the cy’s upg Pri celebratns.

It was the first-time queer muni fought back agast the regular police raids on the cy’s gay bars and clubs. Whout the fightback of the activists, gay liberatn may have gone at a much slower published by the Internatnal Gay and Lbian Associatn (ILGA World) shows there are many untri throughout the world that ntue to crimalise and opprs LGBT+ people; cludg 49 untri which punish homosexual acts wh imprisonment and 11 untri that e the ath penalty agast LGBT+ people.
From crimalisatn of homosexualy the late 1960’s, through to the liberatn movements of the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s. There is a signifint level of unrreportg of all typ of vlent crime, and a lack of help-seekg among LGBT+ people cludg those vlent and abive same-sex partners are aaid to show affectn, to even hold each other’s hands public, fearg verbal and physil attack, or children and young people, who eher are LGBT+ or perceived to be LGBT+, are subjected to homophobic, biphobic and transphobic abe and bullyg om their peers.
