The Dyke March, along with the bars Henrietta Hudson (founded in 1991) and Cubbyhole (1994), is one of the few Manhattan lesbian heirlooms still around
“This is part of the true legacy of Pride, to take up space in a rebellious way that’s about actually feeling our power. It feels like some of the more policed and corporate-controlled events forget. Dyke March has always been its original grassroots form, like the anti-establishment, anti-assimilationist origins of Pride.
“You see every dyke in NYC. All of your exes, everyone you’ve ever hooked up with. It’s like going back in time. It’s a beautiful experience. We can spend time with elders, which is rare. It’s multigenerational, which means a lot. You don’t necessarily see elders if you’re going out and partying. This is the space where queers of all kinds are welcome and celebrated.
“We’ve each been going since the 2000s. We love that it’s a march. There’s almost always something to protest. Sometimes there’s something to celebrate, but it’s a chance to show up and be real. There’s so much entanglement of corporations with the rise of division in this country and white supremacy. Pretty much every Dyke March I go to, I say I’ll take my shirt off and I don’t. But the patriarchy is off the hangers, and I’m ready to this year.
“I’m consistently surprised we can do this every year. A lot of magic has to happen,” committee member Francesa Capossela tells me. “When we get to Washington Square Park, I feel like every bit of me has been in service of something,” she says. “I’m a dyke, and I’m proud.”
