The first March was held in 1970 and has since become an annual civil rights demonstration. Over the years, its purpose has broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and to remember those we have lost to illness, violence and neglect.

The March is a celebration of our lives and our community. In 2018, we were joined by over 550 unique marching contingents, representing a vast array of non-profits, community organizations, corporate sponsors, small businesses, political candidates and activists! With over 100 floats making the trek along the route, last year’s March was one of the largest and most exciting in history.

Join us in this commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising. Stay tuned for additional details about the event.

NYC Pride has continued this proud tradition by hosting the event in various locations throughout the city.

Gay historian Professor Andrew Lear founded Oscar Wilde Tours to reveal the secret LGBT+ history that is hiding in plain sight in the world’s great cities and museums. On the Gay Secrets tour of the Metropolitan Museum, Professor Lear will show you how same-sex love of various kinds is referenced in the Metropolitan Museum’s masterpieces, from ancient Greek statues to Picasso’s Gertrude Stein. We will explore a number of cultures and examine both well-known works by artists such as Caravaggio and relatively unknown works such as bis-poles from New Guinea. This tour will show you that world history and world art are much gayer (or even gayer) than you ever thought!
