A century of history lined the walls of the Galleria Mall as hundreds gathered to kickoff Pride month. “Take PRIDE! A 100-Year Retrospective of LGBTQ+ Milestones” opening reception drew hundreds of LGBTQ and their allies, honoring the past and inspiring the future.

From before you arrive through everything you’ll find inside, this year’s Stonewall Pride will have a different look and feel. From cashless entry to an LED stage to more embracement of the leather community, to a later start of the parade, the experience will be unlike past years.

The Centers for Disease Control issued an alert of a new outbreak of mpox, a viral disease that causes a rash, fever and other symptoms, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa. Mpox is mostly found in Africa but spread to the U.S. in 2022 as a sexually transmitted infection, causing an outbreak mostly among gay and bi men. Now there are concerns of a potential resurgence of the virus in the U.S.

When Wilton Manors’ police chief, Gary Blocker, announced in April that there were seven out of 32 open officer positions, eyebrows were raised. During a meeting between the city and the department’s union, the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), it was revealed the situation is much more dire than first believed. 

The sun will beat down and a DJ will be dropping beats as the fifth annual FLoatarama flotilla wends its way through Fort Lauderdale’s waterways. America’s biggest Pride on water, according to organizers, has quickly become a staple of South Florida Pride month.

On a sweltering night, simmering rage became a rolling boil when police stormed into the Stonewall Inn. Violence ensued and fires burned. NYC’s stigmatized LGBTQ community wasn’t taking it anymore.
