Summary

The CartoDB team wants to offer condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting, which was an act of hate against the LGBTQ community. However, it's also time to celebrate Gay Pride month, a time for solidarity among LGBTQ people worldwide. The map created by CartoDB showcases the history of Gay Pride celebrations, which originated in New York City in 1970 with a march on Christopher Street. Forty-six years later, the map highlights the progress made in the struggle for LGBTQ rights, making it a celebration of bold activism and a testament to the community's strength in numbers.
