Niagara Falls will light up this evening in celebration of Pride Month.

The Canadian Horseshoe and American Falls will illuminate in rainbow colours tonight for 30 minutes at 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00.

Today is the 52nd anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which is considered a key moment for the awareness and progress of gay rights.

In the Greenwich community of New York City, members of the gay community protested a police raid at the Stonewall Inn.

On the first anniversary of the riots, the first gay rights marches took place in major American cities.
