Pride Week kicked off Tuesday night in the Bronx, as members of the LGBTQ community gathered together for food and films, but it comes at a time when many don't feel safe.
As of last year, 97 hate crimes against the LGBTQIA+ community have been reported in New York City. That's compared to 66 in 2019.
"It's sad to see there's so much hate in the world. At the same time, we have somebody being targeted because of who they are," said NYPD Sgt. Ana Arboleda, who is also an LGBTQ liasion. As Pride Month continues with the colorful parade in the Village at the end of June, the mission in the Bronx is multi-faceted: to help, teach and embrace.Check out the Pride Week schedule of events below:
