On Sunday June 28th, during "Gay Pride 2009", a huge portion of the West Side Piers were barricaded and parks department officials told us that only "people with children" would be granted access to that portion of the piers which included public restrooms. While one or two white families with small children picnicked on the grass, thousands of people -- many of them gay youth of color-- were turned away and forced to congregate in small, overcrowded portion of the piers. Since when are public parks private only for people with children? Discrimination= Separate and Unequal. Shame on NYC!
