Rockland Pride Sunday was held in Downtown Nyack, welcoming in hundreds of people to celebrate and commemorate LGBTQIA+ history and culture.
The event was held in conjunction with community partners and the Phyllis B. Frank Pride Center of Rockland County, as part of their 2025 pride event's schedule.
While the parade was lively and colorful, many people News 12 spoke with shared their concerns this Pride Month for the LGBTQIA+ community.
"People are targeting us, particularly queer and trans people of color, around the country to scapegoat us and take all of the focus and anger and frustration that all Americans are feeling right now, and put them on the shoulders of LGBTQ people...We cannot be silent in moments like these," said Alexis Francisco, a volunteer with the Pride Center's BIPOC Pride Advocacy Group.
The Phyllis B. Frank Pride Center of Rockland County will be hosting pride events all throughout the month of June.
