Bronx shows its Pride

The new Bronx LGBTQ Center (the “Center”) held the 2013 pride event, which featured nearly 100 different entertainers, speakers, and organizations, at Crotona Park.

“Keeping in line with doing things differently, our pride event was different from other borough's events at its very core as it incorporated a health fair, where over 12 health-oriented organizations provided on-site health screenings that included rapid HIV testing, blood glucose/diabetes screenings & blood pressure testings, and more. More than 40 organizations in total have signed on to provide information and outreach to pride participants,” stated Peter C. Frank, the Center's secretary, who also chairs their pride committee.
