From The Advocate:
The event brought together New Yorkers of all different stripes, from politicians and activists to actors and drag artists.
Mamdani told The Advocate that the celebration signified his administration’s broader commitment to supporting the queer community, especially given the breadth of attacks on LGBTQ+ rights under President Donald Trump.
“We are so proud of our status as a haven for queer people,” Mamdani said. The city is dedicated to “protecting trans and queer New Yorkers from these relentless attacks that we’re facing with the federal administration.”
Since taking office in January, Mamdani created the city’s first Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, launched a public awareness campaign around public safety for trans people, and earmarked $15 million for gender-affirming health care in the city’s executive budget.

Here’s the short program from the evening. Mamdani delivers his remarks at the 16:45 mark.
