Riyadh K Does Newark Pride
48 HOURS IN NEW YORK CITY WITH RIYADH KHALAF
Newark Pride was a surprise for us. If I’m honest, I expected the event to be bigger but what we were greeted with was an intimate crowd of passionate marchers that weren’t more than 400 in size. Compared to gigantic pride celebrations like that of London and Manchester, Pride in Newark felt incredibly intimate and poignant. The local LGBTQ+ community may not be huge but they were beaming with Pride, colour, bravery and conviction. It felt like a real honour to step into their space and celebrate this moment alongside them. Overall, our New York and Newark experience was one we will never forget. Yes it was brief but it was full of the magic the Big Apple has become so famous for. As a gay couple we are always aware of the places that allow us to express our love in an unfiltered way and this trip didn’t disappoint. Not only did we feel comfortable to be intimate but it was celebrated by gay and straight people alike.
