New York Police raided the Stonewall Inn which was a prominent gay club in Greenwich Village, in the early hours of the morning. As police turned violent, and a build-up of social discrimination and continuous police harassment grew, the raid became a riot and a protest. Led by Marsha P. Johnson, it lasted for 6 days. It saw large media coverage and spilt out onto the streets of Greenwich. \u00a0\u00a0This was the \u2018catalyst for gay rights and activism in the United States and the world\u2019 <span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/History.com\">Source<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Known as \u2018Mother of Pride\u2019, it was Brenda Howard who organised the first pride march to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

It was not until the 1990s however that Pride Month became more popular <span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">(<a href=\"http:\/\/daysoftheyear.com\">Source<\/a>)<\/span>.
