Foreign terrorist organizations and their supporters may seek to exploit gatherings associated with the upcoming June 2024 Pride Month , according to a public service announcement alert issued Friday.
The alert said foreign terror groups, specifically referencing ISIS, could target LGBTQIA+-related events and venues with the aim to"commit or inspire violence."The alert did not specifically reference New York City, which hosts some of the largest Pride events in the world. The alert also did not say the New York area was a target. Federal authorities said they put out the alert to make sure residents remain vigilant.
Organizers of NYC Pride said this year's celebration will be just like any other -- full of joy, color and music. But NYC Pride organizers said they are aware of the alert and paying attention."We will do what we always do, which is work with law enforcement and our private security to make sure this is as safe as possible," NYC Pride's executive director, Sandra Perez, told NBC New York.
