Pride

This June, the spirit and excitement of Pride blooms in New York City, one of the historic centers of the LGBTQ+ movement. We invite you to celebrate 40 years of Pride with The Center!
Divine Queerness: “Forms and Tools: Methods of Healing” is a visual investigation of the different ways queer identity shapes the healing mechanisms and processes of People from the Global Majority.
Join The Center for an encore screening of “AIDS DIVA: The Legend of Connie Norman.” Seizing her power as she confronts her mortality, trailblazing trans activist Connie Norman evolves as an irrepressible, challenging, and soulful voice for the AIDS and queer communities of early 90s Los Angeles. Q&A with the director to follow.
Join theater critic and acclaimed biographer Robert Hofler in conversation with entertainment journalist Michael Musto for a discussion on Hofler’s latest release, “The Way They Were” (Kensington Publishing 2023), the first book on the making of one of the world’s most beloved—and puzzling—romances.
Learn more about The Center and the work we do through a number of interactive activities which include storytelling, art-making, and community discussions on topics relevant to Black LGBTQ+ communities. Enjoy a summer cocktail with us (must be 21 years old) and stick around for free food and beverages. Visit our community artisans and vendors for an immersive shopping experience.
Join us at Pier 76 on Tuesday, June 20, at 6 p.m., as we celebrate The Center’s 40th anniversary year of service, for an evening of extraordinary performances, music, special guests, and more.
Interested in marching with The Center this June during NYC Pride Parade? Sign up to walk alongside our float, get free merch, and celebrate our 40th anniversary with us! Spots are limited. The deadline to sign up is June 16, 2023.
