New York Gay Pride Parade Gets One Mile Slashed Off
Arthur Finn, Co-chair of Heritage of Pride , Inc., the non-profit organization that plans the events commented, "Some people running NYC Pride are disappointed by the announcement, but we understand the city's need for the change this year. We aren't alone, as the city says it is requiring that every parade make the same sort of reduction as we did for this year."
The parade, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and will feature Mississippi lesbian student Constance McMillen, Judy Shepard, and Lt. Dan Choi as Grand Marshalls, will still pass the spot where the historic Stonewall riots took place, 41 years ago. Even though much has changed for this year the March Committee is planning an exciting celebration!
