PHOTO ESSAY BY DONNA ACETO | The 22nd New York City Dyke March stepped off from Bryant Park late in the afternoon on Saturday, June 28, headed south to Washington Square Park. The annual show of lesbian visibility, famously unpermitted even with police cooperation, included well-known activists from Edie Windsor, the successful plaintiff in last year’s challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act, to Eve Sicular, the drummer for Metropolitan Klezmer and Isle of Klezbos, who recently said she has always been called on for dyke events because everyone knows about her ability to make noise. At Washington Square Park, Dyke March participants made their presence known, taking time to cool off and cuddle up.
