Polyamorous NYC presents: 40 Years since Stonewall: a panel discussion among influential GLBT leaders on the history of the movement
This year is the 40th Anniversary of Stonewall. On Wednesday, June 17th, at 8pm Polyamorous NYC is hosting a forum to discuss the history and development of the GLBT community with influential leaders of the movement. In a mere 2 generations, Gay Rights have gone from a single riot in the Village to a sustained and stable national movement with institutions like NGLTF, GMHC, HRC, The Empire State Pride Agenda and community centers across the nation. How did we grow so far so fast? And what can the Poly community learn from this experience?
Speakers will include:
- David Schneider, Co-chair of Heritage of Pride
- Dennis DeLeon, President of the Latino Commission on AIDS
- Lisa Winters, Executive Director and founding member of the Bronx Community Pride Center
- Ignacio Rivera who has worked with the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force, the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network and the Anti-Violence Project.
We meet on the third Wednesday of every month in Room 101 of the LGBT Center. $10 admission; $5 youth/students.

The parade will go late into the afternoon and early evening as we merrily traipse down 5th Avenue to the Village.

Send an email to info@Poly-NYC.com for more information. We recommend wearing sensible shoes, bringing sunscreen and plenty of hydration. There is always a moment of silence at exactly 2pm to remember those who have been lost to AIDS. Marching in the Parade is one of the best opportunities to show your Pride in the Poly community, and demonstrate your support for a great way of loving and living.
