This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, an event that jumpstarted the gay-rights revolution, a movement with strong Philadelphia roots. The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection joins cities across the world by marking the milestone with a jam-packed weekend of Pride events in mid-June, including the annual Philly Dyke March, a floating dance party on the Delaware River and the weekend’s main event, the PrideDay LGBT Parade and Festival, debuting a Philadelphia Pioneers On The Road To Stonewall float. The extended summer season sees a slew of international stars coming through town for live stage shows. Glam rocker Adam Lambert joins Queen for a night of music in South Philly, and lesbian comedian Hannah Gadsby hits Philly on her first U.S. tour. Philadelphia also hosts the nation’s largest Trans Wellness Conference and Stonewall @ 50, a thoughtful exhibition of works by LGBTQ artists that recounts the Stonewall Riots and its impact a half century later.
