PRIDE MONTH commemorates the Stonewall Riots, which happened on June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in Manhattan, New York City. As a result, every year, events are held worldwide during the month of June to acknowledge the impact of the LGBT community. To celebrate PRIDE, some Miami restaurants have partnered with local non-profits like Equality Florida, Pridelines, SAVE, and YES, organizations that further support the LGBTQ community. Find details below on their efforts to support and defend equality on PRIDE MONTH.
