'''LGBT Pride Month''' is a month, typically June, dedicated to celebration and commemoration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and [[transgender]] ([[LGBT]]) pride. Pride Month began after the [[Stonewall riots]], a series of gay liberation protests in 1969, and has since spread outside of the United States. Modern-day Pride Month both honors the movement for [[LGBT rights]] and celebrates [[LGBT culture]].

The [[rainbow flag]] has become a symbol of LGBT culture

Some have criticized how many companies release Pride Month-themed products, likening it to the concept of [[slacktivism]], as the companies are perceived to be using the topic of LGBT rights as a means of profit, without contributing to the movement in a meaningful way. Others have criticized the seemingly hypocritical nature of companies making social media profiles evoke the rainbow pride flag while refusing to alter the profile pictures in areas without broad LGBT acceptance.

== Variants ==
In 2018, an internet meme circulated surrounding the concept of a "wrath month", a play on pride and wrath both being part of the seven deadly sins of Christianity, to take place in July following the end of Pride Month.
