As pride month comes to an end and the city celebrates everything queer in bright colors, we take a moment to look at how we got here and the future of pride in NYC.
Pride from the early days looked very different from what it does today, from police brutality and the Stonewall Inn riots to, now, police officers walking in parades and corporations selling rainbow-colored everything. Some activists say that pride has become a corporate branded party, ignoring the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community. This week we will explore corporate involvement in pride and the frustration between LGBTQ NYPD officers and pride organizers.
Sue Doster is the co-chair for NYC pride, and she tells us corporate involvement was almost nonexistent in the early days of pride. We’ll also speak with Jay Walker, one of the founders of the reclaim pride Coalition. And lastly, we will hear from Brian Downey, the gay officers’ action league president. |
