Kickstand Comedy intentionally scheduled its Comedy in the Park Pride event on the Fourth of July as a 'bold, joyful act of resistance in a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across the country.' They invite folks to join them in 'reclaim[ing] 'freedom' with laughter, love, and community,' so grab your pals with a sense of humor and drop your blankets early—the free stand-up show has been known to draw crowds of 4,000 or more.

The Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art will host a panel on queer and Asian American representation in film, featuring director Alice Wu and special guests.

"Today is a day for celebration," said Yanery Cruz, director of advocacy and programs at NYTAG. "For us to protect our joy, to protect our mental health and to lean into community for support."
