PARIS 2e: Celebrating 40 YEARS of GAY PRIDE in New York since Stonewall

Celebrating 40 YEARS of GAY PRIDE in New York since Stonewall

On the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in Greenwich Village, New York celebrated Gay Pride with a 5 hour long parade and thousands of participants.

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.
