STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Mayor Eric Adams declared that the transgender Pride flag’s colors will be used to illuminate city structures, such as City Hall and the David M. Dinkins Manhattan Municipal Building.
“Transgender, gender non-confirming, and non-binary people show our city what it means to be strong, courageous, and brave every day, and today we remember all those who lost their lives in senseless acts of anti-transgender violence,” Adams stated. These public buildings’ lighting conveys a strong statement that New York City will continue to be a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, and especially for transgender people who want to live the safest and best lives possible.
