A grassroots collective[1] of queer rights activists and supporters held the first Queer Liberation March to coincide with WorldPride NYC, which marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.[2][3][4][5][6][7] A year later the coalition marched in solidarity with Black Lives Matter,[8][9] and against police brutality, only to see the non-violent demonstration met with NYPD using pepper spray on protesters.[10][11]
