She added: “The idea of officers being excluded is disheartening and runs counter to our shared values of inclusion and tolerance. The New York police department commissioner apologised for the raid during a briefing in 2019, calling it “wrong, plain and simple”.ĭetective Sophia Mason, a spokesperson for the NYPD, said on Saturday the department’s “annual work to ensure a safe, enjoyable Pride season has been increasingly embraced by its participants”. The Queer Liberation march aimed for a protest vibe, saying the main Pride march was too heavily policed by the same department that raided Stonewall a half century earlier. Chicago's Pride Parade is one of the largest, by attendance, in the world. It is considered the culmination of the larger Gay and Lesbian Pride Month, as promulgated by the Chicago City Council and Mayor of Chicago. In 2019, there were two marches in Manhattan after some in the community concluded that the annual parade had become too commercialised. The Chicago Pride Parade, also colloquially called the Chicago Gay Pride Parade or PRIDE Chicago, is the annual pride parade held on the last Sunday of June in Chicago, Illinois in the United States.

Pride season occurs this year amid activism inspired by the response to racial injustice and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death last year at the hands of police in Minneapolis. The uprising is largely credited with fuelling the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Those marches came a year after the 1969 uprising outside Manhattan’s Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, in response to a police raid. The disruptions frustrated activists, who had hoped to collectively mark the 50th anniversary of the first Gay Pride parades and marches in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco in 1970.
