Queer Liberation March

Without the presence of dancing cops or corporate tag-lines, Queer Liberation March reclaimed Pride for Stonewall 50, amassing 40,000 bodies strong. Good Trouble joined the march —from Sheridan Sq. to Central Park — and photographed the resistance in all its realness.

There were two Moments of Silence throughout the day. You could hear a pin drop as thousands held their fists strong in the air. We remembered the many who have lost their lives to this fight.

The heat didn’t stop the protestors, nor did the rain, which came down on the listeners gathered on The Great Lawn.
