June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, an all-encompassing celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.
The four-week event unites lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people in friendship and love to show just how far LGBTQ+ rights have come - and how in some places there's still work to be done.
LGBTQ+ Pride Month began following the Stonewall riots in New York City way back in 1969. The gay liberation protests were in response to a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village. Since then, the celebratory month has spread from America across the globe.
But just how well do you know your LGBTQ+ history? If you think you could recognise the Transgender flag, or where in the UK the first Pride event was held then you're in the right place!
