Continuing the Legacy of the Stonewall Riots

Pride is an affirmation and unapologetic acceptance of oneself and LGBTQ+ communities. The modern “pride” movement began after the Stonewall riots in 1969.

Instead of backing down to unconstitutional raids by New York police, gay and trans  people fought back, which gave LGBTQ+ people the first sense of communal pride in a very well publicized incident.

From the annual march commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, a robust national grassroots movement emerged. CTA proudly carries on this legacy by equipping educators and families with essential resources to address LGBTQ+ issues in education.

As extremist attacks on our LGBTQ+ students increase, we continue our fight to create safe and inclusive schools for our LGBTQ+ youth this Pride.
