NYC's Rainbow Pilgrimage Counts Down to Pridefest

The history of New York City is rife with monumental events which help stoked the fires of what today may be commonplace thanks to the efforts of devoted locals. One such example is the recognition of the LGBT community and the formation of the Gay Liberation Front, the Gay Men's Heatlh Crisis (GMHC) and the June romp we all know as Pride Fest. This year, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which brought gay pride to the forefront in 1970s NYC, the city has organized a "Rainbow Pilgrimage."

From a comprehensive listing of LGBT landmarks such as the actual Stonewall Inn, the Gay and Lesbian collections of the New York Public Library and Harvey Milk High School, to a calendar full of events (April 18 has a LGBT Gallery Tour), the Rainbow Pilgrimage is out to educate as well as celebrate. All are welcome of course, so long as you remember that June 28's 40th annual Pride March in the West Village marks the pinnacle of the year.
