NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch was pictured watching the NYC Pride March from the sidelines Sunday, weeks after slamming the exclusion of LGBTQ cops from walking in full uniform in the parade. About 75,000 people walked in the 57th annual Pride March Sunday afternoon, making their way down Fifth Avenue, turning onto Eighth Street and then up Seventh Avenue, where they passed the historic Stonewall Inn — the site of the violent 1969 police raid and uprising that kick-started the gay rights movement and inspired the march. But uniformed NYPD officers haven’t been among the marchers since 2021, when NYC Pride organizers Heritage of Pride first banned all active-duty law enforcement from marching with their service weapons –citing tensions between law enforcement and the LGBTQ community in the wake of the George Floyd protests.
