Pride is usually in June because that’s when Stonewall took place. Coincidentally, in the US, that’s also the month in which same sex relationships were legalized (2003), same sex marriage was legalized (2015), and lgbtq people received the right to hold a job (2020).
That said, some cities will hold their pride celebrations at different times either because of a local event involving the lgbtq population or because they want to boost their numbers by having pride when big cities aren’t.

Sorry, I’m not from the US can you explain what you mean by this? LGBTQ+ people have legally had jobs in the US for longer than that…
Yes, but we could be fired for it (as in, the employer openly proclaims that as the reason) without legal repercussion at the national level of law.
Oh wow, that’s fucking crazy that it took til 2020 to get that protection.
Thanks!
And the conservatives are trying very hard to do away with it and any other protections
