NEW YORK CITY — June means Pride in the Big Apple, when LGBTQ+ New Yorkers take to the streets and celebrate who they are.
The monthlong celebration which began as a commemoration of the Stonewall Riots at the end of June — an event that kicked off the fight for LGBTQ+ rights — is taking on a new sense of urgency 50 years later.
For 2024 Pride Month, the theme is "Reflect. Empower. Unite,” according to the NYC Pride website.

“Drawing upon the activist history that ignited the movement for LGBTQIA+ rights, the theme encourages individuals, advocates, community leaders and allies to reflect on the challenges they have overcome together and empowers them to take action in shaping our collective future,” the website reads.
“At a time of division in our country and the world, this year’s theme calls for unity within and throughout the LGBTQIA+ community and is a call to action for ALL allies, especially those in government and the private sector, to demonstrate their alliance with the community-at-large at this critical time in our nation's history.”
