March with us in the New Paltz Pride Parade in honor of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, Sunday, June 2, 2019!

It's the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall.  Celebrate the achievements of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters, and march in support of the work that still needs to be done!

In honor of the event, dress like it’s 1969 if you like…we’re thinking go-go dancer, hippie, Twiggy, you get the idea!  No worries if you dress as you are.

Meet in the New Paltz Middle School parking lot on Sunday, June 2019 at noon.  Parade kicks off at 1.  We hope to see you there!

Stonewall:

Fifty years ago, the New York Police Department attempted to raid the Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street, a safe haven for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer patrons. But the early morning hours of June 28, 1969 saw a change in the course of history when those New Yorkers fought back and started the multi-day uprising that we now know as the Stonewall Riots, led by transgender and lesbian activists of color, including Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Stormé Delarverie. This moment marked the start of our modern LGBTQ rights movement. We are proud to announce that this Pride, the Center will be looking back on this history, and marching forward in the footsteps of our elders.
