Con la presencia de políticos y un nutrido grupo de espectadores se realizó este domingo 3 de junio el Desfile del Orgullo Gay en Jackson Heights, Queens. Como todos los años, el concejal Daniel Dromm, uno de los fundadores, encabezó este evento que se ha realizado durante 26 años.
QCH opened up a Beacon Program in my Junior High School when I was in 8th grade. The program offered a safe space to hang out with friends and get advice from counselors. It’s exactly what I needed at the time, so my friends and I joined. That was twenty years ago.
Eli Betts, age 20, has been selected as a Grand Marshal of this year’s Queens Pride Parade in recognition of his leadership in Generation Q, a Forest Hills-based LGBTQ youth program operated by Queens Community House.
The 26th Annual Queens Pride Parade will step off June 3 at noon along 37th Avenue and be followed with a multicultural festival located at 37th Avenue and 75th Street in what has become the second largest Pride event in the city, drawing as many as 40,000 participants each year.
