So whether you’re walking in the march with honor or watching from the sidelines with delight, here are some questions you may have about the event. To lead the march, the Grand Marshals this year are tennis legend Billie Jean King, writer and advocate Tyler Ford, Eastern Caribbean Alliance for Diversity and Equality executive director Kenita Placide and LGBTQ civil rights organization Lambda Legal. “Defiantly Different” is the theme for NYC Pride 2018, celebrating a community that takes pride in individuality and celebrating differences. Being New York’s first time hosting, it’s expected to be largest Pride to ever hit the city. The reason is to prepare for next year’s pride, which will be the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and will correspond with a month-long WorldPride extravaganza. Unlike years past, the route will be a bit different this year, beginning in Chelsea before heading down into the West Village and looping back up to midtown. As New York Pride is in full swing, we’re gearing up for the biggest event of them all: the NYC Pride March, commemorating the 49th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
