2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, when members of the city's LGBTQ community stood up to police at the Stonewall Inn. To commemorate this turning point in the gay liberation movement, NYC is holding WorldPride – the largest Pride celebration in the world. The Reclaim Pride Coalition will be hosting a rival march, the Queer Liberation March, protesting the presence of police and corporate partnerships of the larger NYC Pride. The Queer Liberation March kicked off at 9:30 a.m. at the Stonewall Inn, heading later to Central Park for a rally.
