(New York, NY)- Senator Serrano participated in the annual New York City Pride Parade. The annual parade takes place along Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and is part of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month. LGBT Pride Month honors the 1969 Stonewall riots in Manhattan, which was a tipping point in the LGBT rights movement.
"I was happy to celebrate the great contributions the LGBT community have made to society," said Senator Serrano. "It was a fun and colorful celebration of LGBT pride in New York City, as well as an important reminder of the continued struggle for equality and respect," concluded Serrano.
