Given all the rainbow glitter, drag brunches, and block parties, it can be easy to forget that Pride month sprouted from the Stonewall Riots in June of The police raided the Stonewall Inn, a well-known gay bar in New York City, and sparked a six-day series of protests by the bar’s patrons and neighborhood residents, a historic event that’s now seen as a pivotal verb in the gay rights movement. Each June since these demonstrations, people have congregated in cities and towns around the world to show support for equal rights.
In Denver, Pride began in as a celebratory picnic in Cheesman Park and has since blossomed into a citywide celebration of the LGBTQ community that draws half a million attendees each year. Although there’s always more to do, Denver has made significant progress toward equal rights since Stonewall, and we think that’s something to celebrate. Here, 10 ways to act just that.

Day 2
No matter what time you awaken on Saturday morning - well, at least assuming it's still morning - make it a point to sample brunch at one of the many Denver establishments that&#x;s renowned for this festive meal. In the funky Highland neighborhood, Root Down is a sure bet for fresh ingredients from local growers with high-level service and a hip, casual atmosphere. Nearer to downtown, Snooze is justly famous for its delicious sweet potato pancakes.
In the afternoon, you might plan a short trip just outside of town to get a sense of this beautiful area. It's just a minute drive to Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, in the foothills of the Rockies, just west of town. Here you can tour the stunning natural concert hall that has hosted countless superstar rock bands over the years or hike the park's gorgeous terrain.
