Our Story
Brooklyn Pride is a dedicated, volunteer-managed organization that champions the rights and visibility of the LGBTQIA+ community in Brooklyn. Founded in 1996, it emerged from the spirit of the Stonewall Riots, aiming to unite local organizations, businesses, and supporters in a celebration of diversity and equality. Over the years, Brooklyn Pride has evolved into the largest organization serving the borough's LGBTQIA+ community, producing vibrant annual pride events and fostering a sense of solidarity across all neighborhoods.
