Each June, New York City becomes a lot more colorful as businesses throughout the city hang a pride flag on their storefronts. However, the symbolism of this flag runs deeper. In 1999, President Bill Clinton declared June “Gay & Lesbian Pride Month.” In 2021, President Joe Biden updated June to “LGBTQ Pride Month.” With New York City being so culturally diverse, it is the perfect place for celebrating Pride Month and how far the community has come. Check out these events happening throughout the city.
