The Stonewall Riots were a series of demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community in response to a police raid that took place in a gay club at the Stonewall Inn, in New York City. The Stonewall Riots served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement. Pride month helps to celebrate and bring awareness to the LGBTQ+ community. During Pride month, the community works towards creating equal justice and opportunities for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning people. There are celebrations across the globe that include: pride parades, parties, picnics, workshops, concerts, and awareness events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why the LGBTQ+ community experiences higher rates of sexual violence and abuse\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LGBTQ+ Community face higher rates of sexual violence and abuse.
