I have a clear memory of the March on the United Nations on Sunday, June 26, 1994.  It was the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.  There were two marches that day, one up 5th Avenue, and the other up 1st Avenue in front of the United Nations, converging at the entrance to Central Park.  It was as much a matter of confusion as it was definance – Giuliani was against it and even a Judge ruled against a dual march, but details were sketchy at the last minute, so people assembled at both locations and proceeded to march north anyway.

Gay Games IV (Unity ’94) had just finished, so NYC was swollen with gay men and women and their families and friends, oh.. and more Bible-touting crackpots than usual. CARLOS
