LGBTQ Association Marches with Pride
Members of NYCHA’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) Employee Organization joined thousands of New Yorkers at the City’s Pride March on June 26. “Our members were excited by the opportunity to participate in this year’s Pride March under our organization’s banner—NYCHA’s Association of LGBTQ Employees,” said Association president D’Andra Van Heusen (third from right). “Although the mood was solemn due to the recent hate crimes against the LGBTQ community in Orlando, Florida, there was a sense of excitement as we collectively and loudly chose to persevere over fear.” See p. 5 for a report on the Association’s first annual Pride and Diversity Celebration.
