The following is a calendar of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) events. While the primary focus is on gay pride parades, the calendar also embraces a spectrum of events, ranging from sporting events to film festivals, including celebrations such as Christopher Street Day. These events transcend geographical boundaries and reflect the enduring impact of the Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village. Originating in June 1969, these riots marked a pivotal moment in queer history, shaping diverse social movements and catalyzing the establishment of Pride parades on a global scale.^[1]

The significance of these events is further emphasized by their varying sizes, exemplifying the diversity within the global LGBT community. From the grandeur of São Paulo's Pride parade, attracting 5 million participants, to the intimate gathering in Sligo, Ireland, with 100 participants, each event symbolizes a unique expression of solidarity, empowerment, and inclusivity within the broader context of the LGBT movement.
