It was Bill Clinton who designated Pride Month as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month back in June 1999, with Barack Obama declaring it LGBT Pride Month 10 years later, while they were serving as presidents.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, the month is referred to as LGBTQ+ Pride Month to encompass those who identify as queer and further identities.<\/p>\n
When is Pride Month in the UK?<\/strong><\/h3>\nDespite the UK\u2019s first Pride march being held on 1st July 1972 in London, Pride Month in the UK is usually held in the month of June. This is the same for other countries such as America and Australia.<\/p>\n
