Pride in New York City

On 28 June 1970 New York held the first Lesbian and Gay Pride March in the United States, known as Christopher Street Liberation Day, marking one year since the Stonewall rebellion. It was led by activists from the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activists Alliance and drew around two thousand people, who walked the 51 blocks from Sheridan Square to the Sheep Meadow in Central Park. That day produced the template the rest of the world copied - which is why Berlin's Pride is still called Christopher Street Day.

On 27 June 2016 President Obama designated the Stonewall National Monument: the 412th site in the national park system and the first US national monument chosen specifically for its LGBT history. It protects Christopher Park and the buildings at 51 and 53 Christopher Street, along with the streets and sidewalks where the events of 1969 took place. The march is held every June and passes through Greenwich Village, while queer nightlife spreads through Hell's Kitchen, Brooklyn and well beyond, with parties running year-round. The list here shows LGBTQ+ friendly events as a whole and not only the days of the march.
