Unlocking New York City's Hidden Spaces
Let me show you something. What you're looking at here are over 590 plazas or privately owned public spaces scattered throughout New York City.

These spaces have the potential to be centers of culture, commerce, and conversation, similar to Piazza del Campo in Siena or Trafalgar Square in London.

εὐφορία (Euphoria). Content Warning.
There is a sadness that lives within the tremendous euphoria of being Queer. A lifetime of at least some shred of disappointment or fear for our differences and what that means for our safety and happiness. But it isn’t because being Queer is bad. Not at all. It is an unbelievably special and beautiful thing that no one can take away from us. But it is a difference, and a very distinct one thanks to culture wars and the wide spread of misinformation. That’s what makes it so hard. That invalidating external - everything and everyone else who does not care to understand. We say Pride is all year round, but that is not yet true. Because, if we are still struggling to claim Pride year round in a safe way, still demanding change by protesting the murder of countless LGBTQ+ people, especially our trans siblings, then, no, we do not have Pride year round.
