The NYC Pride March, themed "Rise Up: Pride in Protest," witnessed over 1 million participants celebrating love, joy, and advocacy. The march, beginning at the historic Stonewall Inn, symbolizes the ongoing fight for LGBTQ rights amidst a challenging socio-political climate. Speeches from figures like Gov. Kathy Hochul emphasized commitment to defending the community, while participants highlighted inclusivity and resistance against marginalization. The event served as a unifying platform illustrating the need for continued advocacy and support for LGBTQ individuals.
Our existence is resistance. So if we're happy, it's defiance. Just like that we're being defiant. This brings unity and strength among our community.
It means not letting yourself down, putting your pride first. It's vital we remember where we came from and fight for those who need it.
