06.26.2011 - THE MARCH
Sunday, June 26th, 2011, Steps off at 12 noon
Starts at 36th Street & 5th Avenue, ends at Christopher & Greenwich Streets.
The March began as an annual civil rights demonstration beginning the
year after the Stonewall Riots in 1970. Over the years its purpose has
broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and to
remember those we have lost to the illness, violence and neglect. It
has also evolved to include being a celebration of our lives and our
community.
The March has been shortened this year. It now starts at 36th Street.
That means much has changed. Click on the map below to see the current
route.
This event is free and open to the public. No tickets are necessary.

TAKE BACK PRIDE NYC!
On the last Sunday in June 1970, Gay Liberation Front and Gay
Activists Alliance, in commemoration of the Stonewall riots, staged
the first Gay Liberation Day March. Organizers in Los Angeles and San
Francisco also held marches that day.
We have much to celebrate. As a community we have struggled and fought
for our very lives. Together, we have accomplished what at one time
was a fantasy at best. Our sexual liberation has been celebrated every
year now for 40 years with what was once a march and is now a parade,
in the streets of New York and dozens of other cities across the
country and the world.
This year, in light of the major battles we have ahead of us, we are
asking for all of you to join us in taking back pride. While we have
so much to be proud of in what we have accomplished as a community,
this fight is far from over. We want our community to not only
remember those who have fought and died before us, but to forge ahead
in the struggle -- so that our children may one day live truly free
and equal lives in this country.
The organizers of Pride Marches around the country work tirelessly
over the course of the year to bring us the most inclusive marches and
celebrations in the world. We want to help those organizers by working
with them to implement plans for education and protest within our
marches.
We know that our community is made up of every race, creed, religious
affiliation and political background imaginable. We come from
everywhere, from Africa to New Zealand. We represent Conservatives and
Socialists. We are made up of Catholics and Buddhists alike. The time
has come to embrace our ideals and differences and remember that what
we have in common as a community - is our strength.
For Pride 2010, we ask that organizers and participants of marches
around this great country take this opportunity to be heard. Yell.
Scream. Chant. Wear your chaps and thongs, but carry a sign while you
do it. Put on your most sequined ball gown, but shout for your rights
as you flaunt your fabulousness. The sheer number of people who turn
out in the streets this June will send a clear message around the
world that we are not content with what we have. We are somebody. We
deserve full equality.
If youre marching with a group, ask your group what they are angry
about. It could be Marriage Inequality. It could be that in 31
states, you can still be fired simply for being gay (see the Get Angry
section on this page.)
We owe it to our community and to those young gay people who are still
afraid to say who they are to TAKE BACK PRIDE. Make your signs. Create
your chants. Its time for us all to remember this is a march, not a
parade. This is OUR celebration of who we are and it has the potential
to once again be something we are ALL truly proud of.
Please look around the site, and join us by making a comittment to
Take Back Pride in your own way.

Next Sunday: 6-26 Take the Fifth
Heritage of Pride sponsors the 42nd annual New York City LGBT Pride
Day March, beginning at 36th St. & Fifth Ave. at noon and proceeding
down Fifth to an endpoint at Christopher & Greenwich Sts. in the West
Village. The first march was an un-permitted civil rights
demonstration in 1970 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the
Stonewall Riots. Over the years, it has grown into a mammoth, colorful
celebration and parade. At 2 p.m., a moment of silence will be
observed to remember those lost to AIDS, violence, and neglect. To
watch the step off, gather in the mid 30s; the crowds are largest
below 14th St. and especially on Christopher St.; and the most relaxed
viewing is available between 30th and 20th Sts. Of course, feel free
to jump in and join the march with your favorite group or march on
your own. For more information, visit http://www.nycpride.org/. The
march is followed by Pridefest on Hudson Street and world class
fireworks over the Hudson River at about 10:30 PM with great viewing
along the Hudson Riverfont.
