Heritage of Pride Hosts New York City Pride Events

Today, as the struggle for gay rights continues Heritage of Pride hosts New York City’s Pride events in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the beginning _of the modern Gay Rights movement.

Heritage of Pride works toward a future without discrimination where all people have equal rights under the law. We do this by producing LGBT Pride events that inspire, educate, commemorate and celebrate our diverse community.
