## Resource

NYC Pride is heating up this Sunday with a fiery debate over who gets to march — as Heritage of Pride invites hospital systems, even those that recently cut gender-affirming care for minors, arguing it’s a way to hold them accountable and amplify LGBTQ+ voices within. Critics, including trans rights groups and former grand marshals, are pushing back, demanding these hospitals be excluded — citing threats of federal funding as the reason for the policy shifts. Heritage of Pride stands firm, insisting hospital contingents are led by LGBTQ+ staff, not administration, and that inclusion creates space for advocacy and progress. It’s a tense balancing act: celebrating visibility while confronting institutional power — and the conversation isn’t slowing down.
