This awards ceremony honors LGBTQ persons of color who have made contributions to the black LGBT community. The entertaining aspect of the event is the fashion shows, drag performances, and stage performances by LGBT artists. These organizations cater to the black LGBT and provide so many resources including HIV/AIDS educational workshops, youth mentoring, and panels on gay rights. During this event, you’ll see LGBT organizations like Glaad, Harlem Pride, Tenz Magazine, etc. The event has an educational and entertaining aspect to it. I went to this event in 2017 and I really enjoyed myself. Pride at the Beach is an event that takes place at Coney Island Beach. This event won’t take place due to the coronavirus epidemic.

Her involvement in the Stonewall uprising is one of the most historical moments. She was the main LGBTQ activist that helped start gay pride festivals. It’s a dedication to Marsha P Johnson, the transgender activist who played a major role in the Stonewall riots in 1969 here in New York.

You will love the decor with paintings on the wall and nice flooring. I’ve been to B2 Harlem a couple of times. The owner is a lesbian so if you’re an LGBTQ person you will definitely feel welcomed here. The location is B2 Harlem which is an upscale restaurant. Harmonica Sunbeam and other drag performers will be keeping guests entertained at this event. This is an event you can actually attend in person. The gays love brunch on the weekends so it made sense that a brunch event is included in the NYB Black Pride weekend roster. The events started in honor of the Stonewall Rights in 1969 which was a fight for gay rights. NY Pride is a celebration of the whole LGBTQ community and takes place in June during Pride Month. NYC BP and New York Pride can be easily confused with each other but they are two different gay festivals. There were athletic men built men dressed nicely, twink boys with nicely fitted clothes, and tons of other guys wearing the latest fashions. When I entered the venue I felt like I was in a fashion shoot. During NYC BP a couple of years ago I went to a brunch party hosted by gay black event producer Joe Morris at the Rowhouse in Harlem. This mindset is multiplied by many New Yorkers. We gays already take pride in how we look and dress. Even on Tuesdays Frank Watson’s happy hour “Taco Tuesday” was always lit! Before the coronavirus outbreak, there were tons of events going on every single day of the week. If you are not into the party scene you can still enjoy a variety of activities. There have been dozens of gay and gay-friendly bars, lounges, and clubs to go to.
