From Drag March to Dyke March and beyond.
The final weekend of June is always a hectic, colorful, and busy affair. This year, photographer Ryan McGinley was on hand to capture the scene at four different New York City-based events—the Drag March, Dyke March, Heritage of Pride, and the Queer Liberation March—and while each event was carefully organized to express a distinct aspect of queer and trans celebration, the overall effect was one of wide-ranging, sometimes-chaotic joy.
At the 30th anniversary of New York City’s annual Drag March on Saturday, a gathering at Tompkins Square Park turned into a march to the Stonewall Inn, while Dyke March—which also took place on Saturday, and is referred to as “a protest march, not a parade”—was organized in solidarity with oppressed communities around the world, including those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Myanmar, Palestine, Sudan, and Ukraine.
