Pride
Pride is more than just a month of celebrations and recognition of the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a protest and a fight for equality. It’s collaboration and support across other marginalized communities. It’s for celebrating our joy and resilience as a connected, intergenerational community.
Join us on Wednesday, June 17th in New York City for Pride Above the Park
We are excited to celebrate Juneteenth and Pride Month at Pride Above the Park, Glisten’s annual rooftop Pride celebration, bringing together supporters, partners, advocates, and community members for an unforgettable evening overlooking Central Park.
This year’s event will feature music, community, celebration, and opportunities to directly support Glisten’s work advocating for LGBTQ+ students nationwide. Whether you’ve attended before or are joining us for the first time, we’d love to celebrate Pride with you.
