This year, the 40th anniversary of the raid on the Stonewall Inn in New York City, it's more important than ever to recognize the impact that gay and lesbian New Yorkers have had on the city. Everyone's going to be hitting the pride parade as usual on Sunday the 28th, but we'd rather plunk down a few bucks for the First Annual Village Pride Bar Tour on the 27th, an afternoon drinkapalooza beginning at the legendary Stonewall with specials for just a $10 ticket.
Hear the Gay Men's Chorus perform at the legendary Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Thursday, home of an original Keith Haring altarpiece, or see the New York Public Library get into the act with a free monthlong exhibition of photos from 1969 in its flagship Stephen A. Schwartzman building.
If you can't make it for Pride, NYC & Co's round-up of gay landmarks like the Broadway theatre where "A Chorus Line" premiered should give you a good idea on how to celebrate pride your own way.
