June is Pride month, a celebration held annually to honour the Stonewall riots that took place in New York City in June 1969.

Weekend Pride parades in London and New York City have allowed some to honour those who were killed in the recent shootings Orlando, Fl., but the events have also provided an opportunity for a few first responders to celebrate their love.
