At Harlem Pride 2022 Celebration Day on Saturday, revelers danced, hugged and waved rainbow flags. But in the wake of a Supreme Court decision ending the constitutional right to abortion, many said they felt anxious about further erosion of rights.
to end the constitutional right to abortion has left many in New York City’s gay community fearful of whether same-sex marriage and other rights could be stripped away as well. At Harlem Pride 2002 Celebration Day, held at 135th Street and 12th Avenue on Saturday, revelers danced, hugged and waved rainbow flags. But many said they also felt anxious.
“It is terrifying,” said Harlem Pride attendee Jose Abrigo, a Queens resident and the director of LGBTQ/HIV Advocacy at Manhattan Legal Services. “Rather than expanding our rights and preserving equality, the Supreme Court is taking us back to the ‘50s and making it okay to discriminate again.” “Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion is obviously concerning, but it is important to note that not one other Justice agreed with him,” said Human Rights Campaign Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. “In fact, the majority took pains to disagree with him and clarify that this opinion relates only to abortion. Justice Thomas stands alone. With that said, we know that if the court was willing to overturn 50 years of precedent with this case, that all of our constitutional rights are on the line.
