New York Pride 2023

l NYC Pride is one of the biggest and best gay prides in the world, which makes a lot of sense when we are talking about neither more nor less than the Big Apple.

The celebration of New York Pride (formerly known under the name of Gay Pride) is an act that takes place annually. It is a celebration of the culture and pride of the LGBTQIA+ community in New York.

The first celebration of NYC Pride occurred a month after the Stonewall riots, in June 1969, and is what gave the beginning of the modern movement for the rights of homosexuals.}

The Stonewall Riots on June 28, 1969 have been considered worldwide as the founding milestone of the movement for sexual diversity. The protest expressed the community’s weariness with the police attacks that at that time were inspecting public places, demanding identification and they detained all those people who did not fit into the parameters of heteronormativity. That June 28, the crowd that was in the Stonewall bar put a stop to the abuse of rights, gaining visibility in the main media. 

NYC Pride Parade

The Pride Parade is perhaps the best-known symbol of the celebration, and whoever wants to can go and enjoy it. It is one of the largest Gay Pride parties in the world because the beauty and architecture of the city play with the incredible parade that New Yorkers present.
This year with more than 700 floats, the parade will take place on Sunday, June 25 (although the celebrations begin days before, extending for a whole week). In recent years, they have lasted between 6 and 12 hours) and runs from 25th Street to Fifth Avenue, continues 8th Street to Christopher Street, and ends at 16th Street and 7th Avenue. The parade, which also includes music, dance and costumes, will end with a closing party in Times Square from 7 to 10 pm, with live performances by top artists.
The festival will feature non-profit organizations, political candidates, activists, corporate sponsors and celebrities who support the LGBT community.
