Date: Sunday, June 28
Gathering Time: 11:00am
Gathering Place: 56th St. between 5th and 6th Ave.
Kick Off Time: Shortly after noon
Theme: A Beach Outing in the Heart of NYC
Outfits: Swim trunks, tank top, Hawaiian shirt… but wear comfortable shoes.

If you’re planning on marching, it would help us to know how many are marching, and to know to expect you. If you make a last minute decision to march, feel free to join us anyway. Please try to be there by the kickoff time.
It’s summer, and it’s hot, so take care of yourself and bring water and sunscreen. Please be aware that it may not be possible to join the march after kick off, as, in the name of security, the NYPD has said they will not allow it. You might be able to sneak past them, but if you’d rather not risk a run in with the cops (and there have been several in recent years) do join us before we start.
After Queens Pride, enjoy a delicious dinner and libations at a fundraiser for the Gay Asian and Pacific Islander Men of New York and Audre Lorde Project.

She took you to the Prom. She went with you to your first gay club. You were there for her when she broke up with her first boyfriend. You may have taught her how to suck cock…No? Ok, you get the point. Hags. That one woman who helped you become who you are today. Is she still there for you? Is it healthy to have one? What if I didn’t have one growing up? Do we still need them? Is the term derogatory?
Come prepared to share your stories, eat some food, and meet some new folks!
PS — Those who had “stags” are welcome too!
