Pride started in New York City and every June, we celebrate the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, and honor the bravery and resilience of our LGBTQ communities. Brooklyn Heights also boasts a rich history of queer activism and our streets are dotted with many LGBTQ historic sites, of which we should be proud.
Celebrate Pride Month at these events in and around Brooklyn Heights.
