Rockefeller Center is celebrating LGBTQ “Strength in Solidarity” by raising an abundance of Pride flags.
“Along with Pride art installations across campus, Rockefeller Center is decorated in technicolor with rainbow pathways on Center Plaza and Pride flags around The Rink and the Weather Room at Top of The Rock,” The Center Magazine describes.
Other events include a screening of an LGBTQ film and a cocktail bar for queer women.
Reporting from The Center Magazine:
Pride Month is as much of a New York City staple as Broadway and the Statue of Liberty. The month-long celebration started in Greenwich Village over 50 years ago as a tribute to the Stonewall Riots — each year, it honors the trials and triumphs of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer communities. Last year’s theme, “Unapologetically Us,” was an ode to resiliency, with LGBTQIA+ individuals asserting their identities and reclaiming their space in the world. This year’s theme, “Strength in Solidarity,” brings the community back to its roots, emphasizing its history of sparking collective change.
