Stonewall Democrats Statement Thanking President Biden for His LGBTQ Record

July 21, 2024 - Today, the Stonewall Democrats of NYC thank President Biden for his decades of leadership on LGBTQ issues, and commend his selfless decision not to seek a second term. President Biden has led with compassion, moral clarity and incredible effectiveness as the Biden-Harris Administration has passed landmark advances for LGBTQ people, from protecting trans rights, codifying marriage equality, and more. SDNYC will honor President Biden’s model of dedication to the America people and commit to ensuring that Democrats win in November, and the work to achieve LGBTQ equality will continue to move forward.

The time has come... for you to vote...For...Your...Rights!

It may be the final week of Pride Month, but the impact of electing pro-LGBTQ candidates at every level of government will impact the future of our community for years to come. So make sure you vote in the NY Primary by Tuesday, June 25th. This is our chance to ensure that we select the strongest Democratic candidates for the General Election who will champion LGBTQ+ issues. Make sure you vote today, Sunday, or Tuesday!

Love Will Save The Day - SDNYC's 2024 Annual Event

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!
