Featuring contributions from Will Young, Bisi Alimi, David Furnish, Darryl Pinckney, Nan Goldin, Jake Shears, Asifa Lahore, Maureen Duffy, Paris Lees, Jonathan Blake, Georgina Beyer and more. In June 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a New York gay bar. Pride charts the events of that night, the days and nights of rioting that followed, the ensuing organization of local members of the community -and the 50 years since, in which activists and ordinary people have dedicated their lives to reversing the global position. Pride documents the milestones in the fight for equality, from the victories of early activists, the inauguration of defiant and celebratory parades worldwide, to the gradual acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community in politics, sport and the media, and the passing of legislation barring discrimination. With key figures and notable moments, events and breakthroughs of the movement all covered with the reproduction of rare images and documents, and featuring essays from notable figures, Pride is a unique and comprehensive account of the ongoing challenges facing the LGBTQ+ community, and a celebration of the equal rights that have been won for many as a result of the sacrifices and passion of this mass movement.
