Canada

This is a genuine question. June is generally accepted to be Pride Month in Canada, but that seems to be the case more or less to line up with Pride Month in the U.S., where it marks the month of the Stonewall Riots in New York City.

Now one can say we also celebrate Pride Month in June because that's apparently the same month same-sex activity was decriminalized back in 1969, but if we're going to have a Pride Month that represents the struggle of 2SLGBTQ+ folk, why not base it in August?

Basing it in August makes sense since that's when the We Demand Rally took place in 1971, Pride Week 1973 took place, and it's better weather-wise than having it take place in January when the Brunswick Four were arrested.

I'm in Calgary, and having Pride Month recognised as August in Canada would also help out with regional difficulties here, where Pride Month is held in September because of June being the insanely busy Stampede season.

This is just my thoughts here. I just think it would be better to recognise and commemorate Canadian pride history rather than attach our pride history to that of the U.S., and the thought of having these major events in our pride overshadowed by American pride history honestly worries me.
