History Main / PrideParade

In most cities, Pride takes place in the month of June as that is when the Stonewall Riots occurred. But some locations have it earlier or later in the year if the weather in June isn't conducive to a large outdoor event. In the United States, for example, many southern and western cities hold Pride in October since the heat isn't so oppressive, and to commemorate National Coming Out Day on the 11th.

* The first two episodes of ''Series/Sense8'' take place during San Franciso Pride, with Nomi and Amanita taking part in the parade as part of the Dykes on Bikes group. In the second season Lito is invited to serve as grand marshal of the São Paulo Pride Parade. In both cases the scenes were [[DoingItForTheArt filmed during]] the actual Pride events in each city.

In most cities, Pride takes place in the month of June as that is when the Stonewall Riots occurred. But some locations have it earlier or later in the year if the weather in June isn't conducive to a large outdoor event. In the United States, for example, October is the second-most popular month for Pride due to National Coming Out Day being on the 11th of that month, as well as the heat not being quite as oppressive.

The parade may be portrayed as a stand-alone event, or be given context as a part of a larger festival. In the later case, it often include parties and social events at the {{gay bar}}s around the city, concerts, and seminars on issues important to the LGBT+ community.

An [[UsefulNotes/PrideParade LGBT Pride Parade]] is going on. Maybe it has little or nothing to do with the plot, being there simply there to spice up the background of whatever the protagonists are doing (any show with a CastFullOfGay is bound to do a Pride episode at least once). Or maybe it's a major part of the plot. For example, one of the major characters could be helping organizing the whole thing or organize protests against it. Or there could be heated debates on what minorities and organizations should and shouldn't be included. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity may very well ensue]] if one or both sides resort to ActivistFundamentalistAntics.

* ComicBook/BitchyButch tends to hate the parades because they are inclusive. (She's a bitter and hateful lesbian who resents bisexuals, transsexuals, men - including gay men, lesbians who don't hate men, and so on. All PlayedForLaughs.) And yet, even she grows to reluctantly enjoy them.

Could also be a disability pride rally.

* In ''[[Literature/TheLaundrySeries The Atrocity Archives]]'' by Creator/CharlesStross, Bob mentions that once a year his CampGay flatmate Pinky drags his StraightGay partner out to Pride to maintain his security clearance. Back in the day when being a spy and homosexual were, shall we say, legally incompatible, gays were vulnerable to blackmail ("do this or I tell your boss and you're out of a job"). Nowadays the services just insist on openness, idea being that you can't be blackmailed if you're not hiding anything.

* The last episode of the 2nd season of ''NoahsArc'' took place during one.

* The characters in ''TheLWord'' attend a Gay Pride parade in one episode.

** In one of them, there's a guy blocking the parade route, silently holding up a sign quoting a bible verse about homosexuality being an abomination. So a cop comes along and puts him under arrest, which you'd expect to happen in RealLife, since he was blocking the route after all. That's where any semblance of realism ends, however, as Chick's [[StrawCharacter Straw Pro-LGBT Rights People]] proceed to ''[[DisproportionateRetribution beat the guy within an inch of his life]]'' while the cops, instead of trying to break it up, join in with their nightsticks. And then, after the guy confined to a hospital bed, a judge tells him that he's facing a prison sentence for the "hate crime" [[ArtisticLicenseLaw he committed]].
