Gay pride or LGBT pride is the promotion of the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as a social group. The term 'Gay Pride' was crafted by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist in Minnesota. Brenda Howard, a bisexual activist, is known as the 'Mother of Pride' for her work in coordinating the first Pride march in New York City, and she also originated the idea for a week-long series of events around Pride Day which became the genesis of the annual LGBT Pride celebrations that are now held around the world every June.
