The New York City Council, joined by honorees advocates from around the city, commemorated Pride Month on June 5 in the Council Chambers.

The City Council features an LGBTQIA+ Caucus with members representing every borough but the Bronx. The LGBTQIA+ Caucus includes Councilmembers Chi Ossé and Crystal Hudson of Brooklyn; Tiffany Cabán and Lynn Schulman of Queens; Erik Bottcher and Kristin Richardson Jordan of Manhattan; and David Carr of Staten Island.
