The 2019 Stonewall Pride March



2019 is an extraordinary and historic year for the LGBT+ community, as it marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which are well known as the origin of the modern LGBT+ movement. We at Gay Games 11 Hong Kong 2022, and we hope, the world, will be watching as the 2019 Stonewall Pride March begins-- showing our strong support for not only the first, but the largest Pride celebration in the world! LGBT+ Pride events are designed to inspire, educate, commemorate and celebrate our diverse community. And none of this can happen without you! Your support in all things LGBT+ make a difference-- from the smallest ripple in the pond comes significant change in the world. The Stonewall Riots, which began nearly 50 years ago on June 28th1969 prove this-- when 500 people gathered for a “Gay Power” demonstration in Washington Square Park, followed by a candlelight vigil in Sheridan Square. Now NYC Pride has continued this proud tradition by hosting the event in various locations throughout the city each and every year following, culminating in the now 50th celebration in which an estimated 4.5 million people will be there, including 115,000 marchers (about 67,000 more than last year).

   
The 2019 Stonewall Pride March will take place in New York City on Sunday, June 30, 2019, beginning at Noon. Click to learn more and meet the 2019 LGBT+ NYC Pride March Grand Marshals.

As we honor Stonewall’s 50th anniversary, take a moment to reflect and celebrate the milestones achieved in the LGBT+ movement over the past fifty years -- made possible due to the actions of the trailblazers who first stood up for their rights. The first time in history that people from the LGBT+ community fought back against injustice-- a raid on a local gay bar. The Stonewall riots are the birth of the gay liberation movement, and it would do us all good to take a moment to remember, be thankful, and continue their good work.
