NYC Pride March 2017 - Corner of Gay Street and Christopher Street
This year, it wasn't just banks, bars and boys. It was RESIST! It was edifying to see so many young people - gay and straight - turn out to tell Trump where to get off.

Paris-born Simonez Wolf got his start in the New York nightlife world working the door at downtown hotspots like Beatrice Inn, the Bowery Hotel, and The Standard.

After Stonewall
Wednesday, May 24, 2017 6:30pm
Museum of City of New York
Trans people were at the forefront of the 1969 uprising at Greenwich Village’s Stonewall Inn, but their stories have not always been central in film representations of LGBT life in the city. T.V. Transvestite (60 minutes, 1982) captures a fierce House of LaBeija Ball thrown at a Harlem Bingo Hall. Considered “lost” and not screened in public for over two decades, the film shows legends Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, and Sugar in the period before voguing and the advent of AIDS. A stirring example of how queer focused and produced film has long flourished in NYC.

NOT MY PRESIDENT'S DAY Rally On The UWS
On the Upper Westside today, there was a "NOT MY PRESIDENT'S DAY rally. Mailboxes were locked down to avoid the possibility of bombs (or trash?) being put inside them. Our block was entirely barricaded as a secondary entrance and escape route to or from the rally. QNY friend Brian Griffin was there! Lots of clever signs. The crowd gathered in front of the Trump Hotel near Columbus Circle. Photos by the Baad Lamb.

The gay couple of the new 2nd Avenue subway
My husband the Baad Lamb posed with the mosaic gay couple in the newly opened 2nd Avenue line. One station had mosaics by Chuck Close. Another had mosaics by Vik Muniz. Glorious!
