Gay Pride, New York City 2015

Whoo! Quite a Pride weekend, eh? I was off work on Friday so I was sitting at home, at my computer, watching a live Supreme Court coverage blog, waiting for the decision on marriage equality. Once the happy ruling was announced, I did my day’s worth of editing (life goes on), then hurried down to the Stonewall Inn. If you don’t know, on June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village was the site of what became known as the Stonewall uprising (or sometimes the Stonewall riots), when patrons fought back against a police raid. The demonstrations went on for three days, and that date (or the nearest Sunday thereabouts) is commemorated as the day of Gay Pride celebrations in America and around the world.

Whenever there’s a major victory to celebrate (or a tragedy to mourn), people tend to congregate at the Stonewall, and I wanted to be with my people, so down I went.
