Why is Pride Month in June?
International Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, a pivotal moment and movement in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights.


Grow Queer Formal With Your Pride Month Donations
We’re dedicating every donation made this June to something very special: growing the impact of Queer Formal® to a new location in 2027. Support us to take Queer Formal to a city in Australia we’ve never been to before – our first new location in seven years.
Every $50 Means Another Teen Attends for Free
Our goal? $100K in donations, to ensure we head to a new city sustainably, safely, and for years to come. And of course, so all tickets remains free, always. Every $50 means another queer teen attends for free.

Today, queer people are represented throughout pop culture – appearing in TV shows, movies and on our radios. But it hasn't always been like this.

This Pride Month, Minus18 is dedicating every single donation to something very special: growing the impact and reach of Queer Formal® to a new location in 2027.

International Pride Month is an annual LGBTQIA+ celebration held every June. But what does represent, and why is it in June?
