When is Pride Month? Viral TikTok Claim Says It's Been Moved to July—Here's the Truth
A viral TikTok video is claiming that Pride Month has been officially moved from June to July starting this year, sparking confusion across social media. The clip, which has been viewed over 2 million times, shows a person holding a calendar and stating that a "secret government memo" changed the date to avoid conflicting with other holidays. This is fake. There is no evidence of any such memo, and official LGBTQ+ organizations like GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign have confirmed that Pride Month remains in June, commemorating the 1969 Stonewall Riots. The rumor appears to have started as a satire post on X (formerly Twitter) that was taken out of context. Rest assured: Pride Month is still celebrated every June, with parades and events planned worldwide for June 2025. Always double-check sources before sharing viral claims.
