On this Saturday, June 23, the NYC Dyke March begins at 5 pm sharp on 42nd street and 6th avenue (at Bryant Park).
This march is for gay women and for all women who believe in the freedom of sexual orientation and pride.
According to the website, “The dyke march is a protest march, not a parade — we don’t ask for a permit, because we have the right to protest. As lesbians, we recognize that we must organize amongst ourselves to fight for our rights, our safety, and for visibility. Thousands of dykes take over the streets every year in celebration of lesbians and to protest against ongoing discrimination, harassment, and anti-lesbian violence in schools, on the job, in our families, and on the streets.”
