Thank you to all our friends, members, and guests who joined for our 2024 Pride Event on June 12th, 2024! It was wonderful to see so many leaders, elected officials, and luminaries celebrate together and celebrate our progress. Our honorees - Assembly Member Danny O’Donnell, Tanya Walker, Carol Bullock, Justin Sanchez, State Senator Sarah McBride, and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland - gave us hope for the challenges ahead and fired us up to continue fighting for the LGBTQ community in NYC and beyond!
