The first pride parades were a commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots, a protest of LGBT people against police raids and violence against trans and gay people, that was commonplace at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n In the morning hours of 28 June 1969, the police came into Stonewall Inn, a bar in New York, to conduct a routine raid among the visitors, who were mostly LGBT. The raid procedure was the following: close premises, place visitors in a row, arrest men dressed in women’s clothes, verify their identity.<\/span><\/p>\n But that raid turned out otherwise. The bar patrons who were released and by-standers gathered in crowds in front of the bar and the confrontation of the arrested patrons with the police created a riot.<\/span><\/p>\n This marks one of the first uprisings of the LGBT community and its supporters against police violence. In the following years, the number of activists who celebrated the memory of these events grew. Today, the pride parades take place across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ljubljanapride.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Stonewall_01_2500-1200×800-1.jpg” title_text=”Stonewall_01_2500-1200×800″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|20px|||false|false” border_radii=”off|30px||30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ background_enable_color=”off” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”|20px||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ljubljanapride.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/racun.jpg” title_text=”racun” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|20px|||false|false” border_radii=”off|30px||30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”15px” header_text_color=”#C02A69″ background_enable_color=”off” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first pride parade in Slovenia was organised in response to the events in Caf\u00e9 Galerija in the center of Ljubljana.
