Pride organizers urged law enforcement to “acknowledge their harm,” though one LGBTQ group said it was disheartened by the "shameful" decision.

In their statement, NYC Pride urged members of law enforcement to “acknowledge their harm and to correct course moving forward.”

“The sense of safety that law enforcement is meant to provide can instead be threatening, and at times dangerous, to those in our community who are most often targeted with excessive force and/or without reason,” the group said.

It will also increase the event’s security budget to boost the presence of community-based security and first responders while reducing the police department’s presence.

Police will provide first response and security “only when absolutely necessary as mandated by city officials,” the group said, adding it hoped to keep police officers at least one city block away from event perimeter areas where possible.

A nonbinary person is anyone whose gender identity falls outside the binary of purely male and purely female. That's the only requirement. Nonbinary people can use any pronouns. Nonbinary pronouns can dress in anyway that they want. Nonbinary people can use any sublabels (or no labels at all) that they want.

Respect all nonbinary folks!
