After years of complaints about the official NYC Pride March being too corporate, activists have created an alternative event scheduled for the same day. - NBCOUT
The Reclaim Pride Coalition announced the Queer liberation march, a parallel pride march, in Sheridan Square, New York City on May 14, 2019.The Reclaim Pride Coalition on Tuesday announced the route of the Queer Liberation March, a protest that will take place on June 30 — just hours before the official, city-sanctioned NYC Pride March.
As a pointed alternative to the city’s official parade, organizers said the Queer Liberation March will not contain any corporate floats or police, and “literally anyone” can join since there will be no tickets, bracelets, police or barricades blocking entry to the march.
“When I see the parade now — the mardi gras, the floats and everybody is partying, and there’s all these commercial floats and advertising,” Shumsky explained, “it’s a little bit upsetting and a little bit sickening that we have lost that feeling of that first march that was just incredible — that we were out of the closets and into the streets.”
