NYC Pride March
47 years after the Stonewall Riots of June 28, 1969
The 47th NYC Pride March started at noon on June 26, at 5th Avenue and 36th Street in Manhattan. The route proceeded through Midtown down 5th Avenue, before heading west into Greenwich Village, ending at Christopher and Greenwich Streets.
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
NYC Pride 2016 theme, "Equality Needs You"
NYC Pride 2016 three Grand Marshals
Jazz Jennings - 15-year-old honorary co-founder of the Transkids Purple Rainbow Foundation and the youngest Grand Marshal in NYC Pride history
Subhi Nahas - Syrian refugee who co-founded the first LGBT magazine in Syria, Mawaleh.
Cecilia Chung - civil rights leader and activist for LGBT rights
NYC Pride March Director 2016 - Julian Sanjivan
According to organizers, around 30,000 people marched in the parade itself. Law enforcement officials expected that there would be around 2.5 million attendees in total, and that more or less comports with CBS News' reporting, which found that almost 2 million spectators joined the marchers.
NYC Pride is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that manages and produces New York City's official LGBT Pride celebrations each year in June

Violence against women and girls is everyone's problem. It brings down an entire society. We are ALL touched by femicide in India. Census data shows that poverty and illiteracy are not key factors in India’s female genocide as many assume. The survival of girls is determined by a patriarchal politics of wealth control.
In recent years, the voices of survivors and activists, through campaigns such as #MeToo, #TimesUp, #Niunamenos, #NotOneMore, #BalanceTonPorc and others, have reached a crescendo that cannot be silenced any more.

The differentiation and dimorphism of gender identity from conception to maturity
Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 1972 book that combines experimental and clinical data in this report on human development and the relation of sexual differentiation and social roles.
"In Man and Woman, Boy and Girl, John Money and Anke Ehrhardt offer a comprehensive account of sexual differentiation using genetics, embryology, endocrinology and neuro-endocrinology, psychology, and anthropology. Their multidisciplinary approach to gender identity avoids the old arguments over nature versus nurture. Money and Ehrhardt focus instead on the interaction of hereditary endowment and environmental influence. Money and Ehrhardt's work will lead many readers to the conclusion that the differences between man and man, or woman and woman, can be as great as between man and woman.
This was required reading in my human sexuality class in college. I thought it was well presented and researched. It defies some of the gender role and gender identification theories by explaining the gender spectrum in very graphic terms. It will make some people VERY uncomfortable, but it makes a valid point I believe, there are many ways to define gender and how individuals identify with their gender. It does not support the popular theory that we are born genetically predisposed to a particular sexual orientation. Instead the book suggests that regardless of how male or how female you may be genetically you may choose which sex you prefer in your physical or emotional relationships. Blasphemy to some, but it goes a long way to clearing up some of the ambiguity about gender roles and gender identification."

Transgender Memorial In Washington, D.C.
Temporary monument in Washingtom, D.C. created to celebrate and honor Transgender Americans.
World War II Memorial
"a monument to the spirit, sacrifice, and commitment of the American people to the common defense of the nation and to the broader causes of peace and freedom from tyranny throughout the world".
A simple single hand was placed over the letter y in the word tyranny to create the image of the word tranny.
The word tranny has been embraced by many persons in the transgender community as well still seen a slang term, that connotes a negative implication.
The purpose of this photo was that of a Trans inclusive nature. If I had the power to put the full word Transgender set in marble on a monument in Washington, D.C. it would have been done already.

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."

The Koothandavar Festival of Koovagam, Tamil Nadu, must count among the most bizarre rituals observed in India. Hundreds of transgenders gather here for 18 days in April-May to observe the festival, which has roots in a legend from the Mahabharata. This is the largest gathering of transgenders in the world.
For most of the year, Koovagam is a sleepy village but during the festival, which culminates on Chitra Pournami, it becomes a magnet for transgenders from across the country.

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
