PHOTOS: Pride celebrations around the world in 2024

Pride Month is a worldwide celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and rights, and it kicked off Saturday at the top of June, with celebrations, events and parades all around the world.

The first pride week in 1970 featured marches in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco — and it has only grown ever since. Pride has expanded into countless other cities and countries, like Thailand, where the country is on course to become the first Southeast Asian nation to legalize marriage equality.
