Drag queens and transgender performers danced for New York City Council members at the historic City Hall as part of the LGBTQI Pride Ball.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a citywide campaign to highlight legal protections for transgender New Yorkers during Pride Month. Speaking during the latest instalment of the Mayor's Office livestream series ‘Talk With The People’ on 4 June, Mamdani said the initiative would focus on ensuring trans residents understand the rights and protections available to them across all five boroughs. "There are far too many trans New Yorkers who have been made to feel not only that they don't belong in the city, but that they don't enjoy the full protections of the law in this city," he said. Mamdani described New York as a "haven for queer people from across the country and across the world" and said the campaign would celebrate Pride both symbolically and through tangible action. He added that his administration wants to make clear that trans New Yorkers are protected under city law and that those protections remain firmly in place.

A reminder.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations. So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut. Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever. In the 1980s, the LGBT community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families. When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

We have now counted and had multiple mosques reporting us. 19 mosques attacked since June 2025 to today. This map is a week old. What is happening to our country when mosques and synagogues are attacked. Extremism and political rabble rousing are having real world impacts.

Progress on gender equality has been slow & uneven. No nation has achieved full equality for women & girls. Let's be clear: equal rights & opportunities are not partisan issues. Leaders must speak out, act & deliver the equality our world so sorely needs.

#BiPrideDay #BiVisibilityDay 💖💜💙

For all family and friends celebrating #RoshHashanah2025 #ShanahTovahUmetukah

We’re here. We’re bi. We’re proud. Happy Bi Pride Month!

🧵Did you know? Black women in England are 2.3× more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth than White women. That’s not biology. It’s systemic racism and neglect in maternity care. Our mothers deserve better! #BlackMaternalHealth (1/5)

We all belong.
