Pride Month honors the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 — the birth of the modern Queer Rights movement. In the 1950’s, Brooklyn Heights became the center of the City’s gay culture, with the first gay bar in Brooklyn, Tony Bonner’s Supper Club, opening at 80 Montague St. Read more about the Supper Club and see photos of the interior in this Patreon post by Hugh Ryan, and celebrate Pride Month at these events in and around Brooklyn Heights.

St. Ann’s LGBTQ+ Action Group invites you to Stonewall 55: Legacy Without Limits, a commemoration and celebration of the Stonewall uprising. Join St. Ann’s in honoring the past, embracing the present, and shaping the future of the LGBTQ+ movement. RSVP today!
