All AVER members are invited to march with AVER-NY in the New York City World Pride Parade on June 30th, 2019. World Pride celebrates the 50thanniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in NYC in 1969. We march as Proud Patriotic LGBTQ veterans carrying the American and Rainbow flags.
It is important to make NYC accommodation reservations as soon as possible as every hotel room in NYC will be full. Several million LGBTQ people from around the word will be participating. AVER-NY does not have the resources to provide any services or support.
You must sign up in advance to march with AVER-NY in the World Pride Parade. Call us at 718 849-5665 or email us at glbtvetsnyc@yahoo.comwith your name, phone number, and email address. You will receive confirmation and line up information in late May or in June.
