June 4, 2021
It’s June, which means it’s finally Pride month! Everybody deserves to celebrate after the year we’ve had, and there’s no better occasion than Pride. Chicago Pride 2021 is going to look a little different this year, but that just means you have a chance to make Pride your own. We’ve got all the info you need on Chicago Pride, custom LGBTQ shirts, Pride month celebration ideas, and (of course) a little bit about the history behind the festivities.
Even as things open back up in Chicago, Pride still isn’t quite back to normal. Here’s a comprehensive list of dates to keep in mind this month:
But a lack of events does not, and has never meant, a lack of Pride. It just means you have a chance to get creative (which is what those of us at Same Day Tees are all about).
One of the great things about Pride is that there’s no one way to be gay or an ally, and there’s no one way to celebrate! Newly open parks, beautiful weather, and friends guarantee this is going to be a summer to remember. Here are a few ideas for how to celebrate the gay community this month:
Ever wonder how all of this got started? Pride Month traces its roots back to the 1969 Stonewall Riot. In the early hours of June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York. Stonewall Inn was owned by the Mafia, and was one of the few places gay New Yorkers could gather and be authentically themselves. Although the bar had been raided before, this time, something was different. The bar’s queer patrons fought back. On the one year anniversary of the riot, the first Pride parade started outside Stonewall Inn.
Expressing yourself through clothing, especially during Pride month, is important. It’s also, frankly, fun. Same Day Tees gives you the opportunity to create your own Pride month shirts and celebrate Pride your way. Get creative and express yourself however you feel comfortable. We also work on short notice – forgot that Pride in the Park is coming up fast? was the only organized Pride event in Chicago this year?
