Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots ^[1] in the Village, which were a seminal turning point in the fight for gay rights. Every year since, the anniversary has been marked by gay pride parades in NYC and around the world. Today’s started at noon, and if you’ve been anywhere in the path of the parade, I’m sure you’ve seen the colorful celebrations that usually accompany the parade. This evening, there will be more events, including Pridefest ^[2] (on Hudson Street between Abingdon Square and West 14th Street, going on until 7PM tonight) and Dance on the Pier ^[3] (at Pier 54, 13th Street & West Side Highway, 4-10:30 PM tonight). Lots more info and other events listed at NYC Pride ^[4].
