More than two million people will fill the streets of Manhattan on Sunday for the New York City Pride March.
But in small towns across the New York region in recent weeks, the march’s buoyant spirit has already gotten a head start.
Jamie Creamer, 38, who lives in Patchogue, on the South Shore of Long Island, attended a Pride event there with her wife and their two young children, “to start setting an example,” she said.
“My son plays sports in this town, and I’m a coach in this town.
If we want to make a difference, we’ve got to start with ourselves.”
