As June became recognized as Pride Month in the United States to commemorate the Stonewall Uprising. President Bill Clinton officially declared in a presidential proclamation, June "Gay and Lesbian Pride Month" in 1999. Barack Obama expanded the official Pride Month recognition in 2011, including the whole of the LGBT community. Donald Trump declined to offer federal recognition of Pride Month in 2017, though he issued supportive public statements in a series of Tweets in 2019. Joe Biden recognized Pride Month after taking office in 2021, and vowed to push for LGBT rights in the United States, despite previously voting against same-sex marriage and school education of LGBT topics in the Senate. Pride Month has since grown into a global celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and identity.
Pride Month is often observed in several LGBT-affirming religious congregations.[citation needed]
In February 2025, Google announced that Pride Month would no longer be highlighted by default on Google Calendar.
