This month , hundreds of thousands of people around the world will join gay pride marches in cities big and small.

Frida Ghitis: Gay and trans rights movements are quite old, but not a single, unitary political movement.

She says some of them hate what pride is all about.

Ghitis says a small number of men quietly belonged to both the homosexual emancipation movement and the Nazi Party , though they were not open about their sexuality.

In 1970 , activists organized the first pride marches to mark the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

Laurie Marhoefer : By bringing the party along with the politics into the streets in broad daylight, pride fought against homophobia.

By the 1990s , pride marches had run into more controversy within activist circles.
