On Saturday afternoon, Bushwick celebrated the neighborhood’s LGBTQIA community at the 13th annual Bushwick Pride, hosted by Make the Road.
Bushwick Pride provided a unique kind of party. While larger pride parades often focus on whiter, more affluent communities, this hyperlocal event shone a light on the effects that gentrification has on queer people of color and focused on connecting them with local organizations that can provide resources and support.
Pride kicked off with a resistance march and was followed by a full-blown block party, complete with tasty food and tons of dancing.
