Celebrating Pride and Diversity In Our SGL/LGBT
Communities and Organizations In Harlem!
About Us
In 2010, Harlem Pride's founders saw an opportunity to celebrate not just our SGL & LGBT community, but its role and contributions to Harlem's rich history and thus Harlem Pride was born. Our mission is to unite Harlem's SGL & LGBT organizations and supporters in cultivating a sense of honor, dignity and respect for our diverse culture and community by fostering tolerance of our differences and ensuring equality for all. We promote SGL & LGBT pride in Harlem and provide opportunities for collaboration and communication among its SGL & LGBT organizations and community members through education and advocacy. These opportunities are organized for and on behalf of all Same Gender Loving & Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender individuals and groups, and all others who support the struggle for the liberation of these communities. We invite the participation of all, regardless of age, creed, gender, gender identification, HIV status, national origin, physical, mental or developmental ability, race, religion or sexual origin.
The inaugural Harlem Pride Day Celebration was held on W. 119th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues, on Saturday, June 26, 2010 and hosted over three-thousand guests. Each year, during the last weekend in June, our pride celebration consists of a VIP Launch Party on Friday, a Harlem Pride Day Celebration on Saturday, and a Harlem Pride Family Day on Sunday.
Since 2010, Harlem Pride has expanded to include monthly seminars and workshops, social events, and other community outreach activities.
