Style on the Street: Everyday Pride in The Village

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and half a century of LGBTQIA+ liberation. The first NYC Pride March was held in 1970 and the march has since become an annual civil rights demonstration. Over the years, its purpose has broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and remembrance of those we have lost to illness, violence, and neglect. In May, the Financial Times reported an AIDS treatment breakthrough that could mean the end of the AIDS pandemic.

This year’s NYC Pride March is on Sunday, June 30th. Festivities and celebrations are happening the entire month of June.

For 2019 Pride March details, see https://2019-worldpride-stonewall50.nycpride.org/events/nyc-pride-march/. And remember, here in The Village, we parade with pride every day!

Madison Patterson’s first words to me were, “I usually wear more flowery things.” Seen here on West 12th Street, Madison was dressed in stunning shades of hyacinth for a job fair at the New School centered on trans-gendered and gender-nonconforming people.

 

Writer and dancer Butch Fabulous is dressed in neon shades to dance with the House of Yes float in the NYC Dance Parade. 10,000 people danced with Butch down Broadway to Union Square and Tompkins Square Park on a recent Saturday afternoon.
