A spate of hate-fueled attacks on gay men in New York, including a killing in the heart of one of its most gay-friendly neighborhoods, is stirring up anxiety, disbelief and outrage heading into what is usually a time of gay pride celebration.

NYC Pride announced that it has selected and confirmed Edith Windsor, Harry Belafonte and Earl Fowlkes as Grand Marshals for the 44th annual NYC LGBT Pride March.

Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who died Feb. 1, whose outsized personality fit his city but who never fully came out as gay, leaves at best a mixed legacy on gay rights, a negative one on AIDS.

Producers Josh Wood and Jared Needle brought DJs Ana Paula from Brazil and Dave Aude for a huge outdoor party on the Hudson River at the Circle Line Pier in Hell’s Kitchen.

Cyndi Lauper performed at this year’s pier dance to an enthusiastic crowd. The event featured some of the hottest gogo dancers and music by three amazing DJ/producers: Eddie Baez, The Perry Twins and DJ Boris. EDGE has the photos!

Together for the very first time! The day before Gay Pride, DJs Corey Craig, the Freemasons and Moto Blanco played some great music for the crowd. NYC Pride and Rafferty/Mazur Events sponsored this great DJ line-up.

As it’s the case every year this cruise aboard the Queen of Hearts was a sold-out success full of muscles, fur and fun, including a special presentation by the lovely Page Turner.
