BEDFORD-STUYVESANT
First Pride action
"An unprecedented celebration of
Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Trans Pride took place June 26 in the
predominantly African American and Latin@ neighborhood of
Bedford Stuyvesant," Pat Chin told Workers World. Chin, a
longtime activist, is a member of the International Action
Center and Bedford-Stuyvesant Coalition for Peace.
She described the march as "accompanied by a lively marching
band. The parade included many male-to-female transgender
people, and advanced down the main avenue and wound through the
neighborhoods."
Chin remarked that this was the first time in her memory
that such an event had taken place.
