Members of the Caribbean Equality Project, the LGBT Network, Out Rockaway and Queens Pride will also participate in a panel discussion about the impact of COVID-19 on the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as resources available to LGBTQIA+ youth and seniors.
 
Augmenting the June 18 LGBTQIA+ Pride Month celebration is an 11-minute short film produced by QPTV and posted on www.queensbp.org/pride about leading trans-Latinx activist Lorena Borjas of Jackson Heights who passed away on March 30 this year due to complications caused by COVID-19.

In addition to hosting the June 18 celebration, Borough President Lee has commissioned the installation of Pride flags, representing the LGBTQIA+ movement, in front of Queens Borough Hall, which will remain on display throughout the month of June. This follows last year’s first-ever installation of Pride flags outside Queens Borough Hall, led by then-Borough President Melinda Katz in conjunction with Queens Pride.
