International March for Lesbian and Gay Freedom (September 30, 1984)

The International March for Lesbian and Gay Freedom took place on September 30, 1984. Marchers walked from Sheridan Square (Christopher Street and 7th Avenue South) to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza across from the U.N. There were a few hundred demonstrators and the event is very little remembered. This is the only known moving image record of the event. For an organizer’s inside view of the March, see “What If They Gave an International March and Nobody Came?”
