Pride Month in New York Is Back. Here’s How to Celebrate.

New York City’s official Pride theme this year is Strength in Solidarity, an apt reminder that Pride was born as a protest movement against bigotry wherever it manifests. Not that there isn’t room to party, too. The actor and singer Billy Porter and the activist Randy Wicker are among the grand marshals of this year’s Pride March, which kicks off at noon on June 25 at 25th Street and 5th Avenue.

One of New York City's oldest LGBT bars and the location of a crucial 1960s protest, has been officially recognized as a city landmark.The bar was officially recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on December 6th, according to a news release from the New York City government.The city called the bar "one of the city's most significant sites of LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) history" in the news release.Julius' was the site of the 1966 "Sip-in," a protest against homophobic discrimination -- although at the time, the bar wasn't an explicitly LGBT space. Four men named Dick Leitsch, Craig Rodwell, John Timmons, and Randy Wicker staged the event to protest the persecution of gay men for drinking in public, according to the National Park Service. Bars and restaurants could be raided for "disorderly" conduct, which included men flirting and kissing, says the service.
