Heritage of Pride, Inc. (HOP / NYC Pride) is a non-profit organization that plans and produces New York City's official LGBT ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride events each year.
Heritage of Pride hosts New York City’s Pride events in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
Stonewall riots happened 47 years ago in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the LGBT community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the LGBT liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT equal rights in the United States.
The 2016 Pride March happened on the one-year anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The 2016 march also happened to come just days after Stonewall Inn, the famous gay bar located in Greenwich Village, was designated as the first national LGBT monument in the U.S.
On Monday, June 27th 2016 the Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) designation took place in New York City. The monument sits across the street from The Stonewall Inn, a National Historic Landmark known for its involvement in the beginning of the modern struggle for civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) Americans.
Remarks from - President Barack Obama June 2016
"I’m designating the Stonewall National Monument as the newest addition to America’s national parks system. Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights. I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country – the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us. That we are stronger together. That out of many, we are one."
Hillary Clinton made an unannounced appearance and was joined by New York State Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Rev. Al Sharpton
