New York City’s Annual Dyke March Was Full of Anger and Joy

The recent overturning of Roe v. Wade hung in the air at New York’s Dyke March, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on Saturday with a protest action that underscored the common threads between the fights for reproductive rights and queer and trans liberation.

The Dyke March has long functioned as a mobile site of resistance for those aligned with the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, and Saturday’s event, which kicked off in Bryant Park, was no exception. Joy was in the air despite the current political climate—or perhaps deliberately channeled in a massive attempt to begin to heal. See photos from the march below.
