Gay Beach Pride Ride: Williamsburg to Jacob Riis Beach

Here's your homework: https://tubitv.com/movies/389516/fort-tilden

On a late June weekend we'll channel our inner Williamsburg yuppie and bike to NYC's best beach. The area we're going to is pretty isolated so bring food/water/shade/whatever you need.

The weekend of June 28 marks the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, an event that kicked off the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The meeting point, Marsha P. Johnson Park is named after the trans woman who incited the riot by throwing loose change and the cops who were raiding the Stonewall Inn.

Here's some reading material on Jacob Riis Beach as a gay beach:

Disclaimer: when I include a nonprofit/museum/random establishment that does something positive for the community, it's because I want to raise funds for them. We raised $10 for Portside NY despite Carolina offering a free tour of her vessel. If you want to donate, here's the link: https://portsidenewyork.networkforgood.com/projects/144802-main-giving-page
