The New York City Council, joined by honorees advocates from around the city, commemorated Pride Month on June 5 in the Council Chambers.
The City Council features an LGBTQIA+ Caucus with members representing every borough but the Bronx. The LGBTQIA+ Caucus includes Councilmembers Chi Ossé and Crystal Hudson of Brooklyn; Tiffany Cabán and Lynn Schulman of Queens; Erik Bottcher and Kristin Richardson Jordan of Manhattan; and David Carr of Staten Island.
Cabán and Hudson — the co-chairs of the Caucus — served as hosts of the event. Honorees included Soraya Elcock of the Hetrick-Martin Institute, Rev. Goddess Magora Kennedy, Bella Noche, and Destination Tomorrow executive director Sean Coleman.
