In June of 1969, members of the LGBTQIA+ community took to the streets of New York City for six days as a result of the police raid of Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village. Today, June marks the celebration of PRIDE, a time to be proud of one’s truest self. WORLD Channel honors the month with films and specials that recognize what it means to own your identity and find belonging in a community and other features this month rejecting injustices and encouraging inclusiveness for all.
Before You Know It
Dennis, Ty and Robert are pioneers in an "out" generation. They are also among the estimated 2.4 million LGBT Americans over the age of 55.
