iHeart NYC Supports Stonewall Day
• Pride Live and iHeartMedia New York announced the second annual Stonewall Day, a global campaign to elevate awareness and support for the Stonewall legacy and the continuing fight for full LGBTQ+ equality. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the pivotal Stonewall riots, Pride Live and iHeartMedia NYC will bring multi-generational LGBTQ+ communities and allies together through the power of music at Pride Live’s Stonewall Day concert, presented by United Airlines. The concert is happening in New York City this Friday, June 28, hosted by Elvis Duran and presented by iHeartMedia’s Z100 and WKTU/New York. We are told to expect some “surprise performances.”
United Airlines will be the first public company inducted into Pride Live’s Stonewall Ambassador program recognizing their inclusivity for LGBTQ+ equality as the first U.S. airline to fully recognize domestic partnerships and the first U.S. airline to offer non-binary gender options throughout all booking channels. They will be joining new inductees: The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton; Donatella Versace, Chief Creative Officer of Versace; Bozoma Saint John, Chief Marketing Officer of William Morris Endeavor; Conchita WURST, global LGBTQ+ activist and recording artist; Samira Wiley, activist and actor, and Stuart Vevers, Executive Creative Director of Coach.
“The Stonewall Riots are widely considered to represent the beginning of the fight for full LGBTQ+ equality,” said Havilah Clarke, Pride Live Board President. “As the world prepares to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of that historic night, our goal is to help continue that legacy in a way that best responds to today’s community and ever-changing world. We are extremely grateful to United Airlines and iHeartMedia New York for committing to this historic event and the Stonewall legacy.”
Pride Live’s Stonewall Day concert is a free event that will feature a collective of activists, artists, business leaders, influencers and celebrities. The concert will be streamed live at z100.iheart.com.
