(This June, WorldPride marks the 50th anniversary of that watershed moment right here in NYC.) During those first few years (hell, make that decades), being out, loud and proud was more of a political statement than a license to party. In fact, when it started 49 years ago as the Christopher Street Liberation Day March, it was meant to be a one-time commemoration of the Stonewall Riots. Pride in NYC wasn't always a big month-long bash.
