Hard to imagine just fifty years ago in New York City that the conversation of Gender and Sexual Diversity would begin at the Stonewall Inn - it was a riot. "Enough is Enough" ACT UP would exclaim and that was the start of the modern LGBTQ movement.
InterPride the International Association for Prides awards a host city to bring the planet together and to host WorldPride and to help mark the 50th anniversary of Stonewall - New York city was chosen to host. Previous hosts included Rome (2000), Jerusalem (2006), London (2012), Toronto (2014), Madrid (2017), and Copenhagen (2021).
Follow on Social #WorldPride2019 as the story of this monumental week unfolds. As our friends at Heritage of Pride - NYC Pride have said, "Celebrate Millions of Moments of Pride." Here are some of my posts for the week. You can follow on Instagram and Twitter for live up to dates.
