The first Rally occurred one month after the Stonewall Riots in June 1969, when 500 people gathered for a “Gay Power” demonstration in Washington Square Park and followed by a candlelight vigil in Sheridan Square. NYC Pride continues this proud tradition at 4:30pm at 154 Christopher St. PFLAG NYC will join other guest speakers to discuss how we can support and amplify the LGBTQ+ community’s call for equality.

As anti-LGBTQ+ legislation sweeps the nation, our schools, libraries, and other story-telling spaces are being attacked on the basis of “protecting the children.” Countless books have been banned as a result, attempting to block—and thereby, extinguish—any mention of LGBTQ+ experiences and identities. But these books go beyond LGBTQ+ narratives—they’re glowing messages of love, role models for living life as your best, most authentic self. In what world should these messages be censored? On October 5 from 6-7 pm ET, we’re sharing these messages of love through the voices of our most vivacious, glamorous, and fearless community members: drag artists. Bringing these stories to life are local drag talent Coco Sho-Nell, Emi Grate, Mister Max, and Nancy Nogood, whose authenticity in themselves mirrors the authenticity in these stories. Reading with Love is a Live broadcasted, family-friendly read aloud geared towards children ages 5-8, with topics including the gender binary, trans children, parents of the same gender, and the history of the Gay Pride flag. Let’s come together and help our kids see a bright and loving future. Register and learn more!
