In an unprecedented set of events, a gathering of some of the greatest humans in the modern fight for LGBTQIA+ equality came together to create this moment. Brooklyn opened its gates to host the Opening Ceremony for the first ever WorldPride on American soil to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. 
xLab shot a movie that day at the Barclays Center for what felt like the opening to the Olympic Games. Performances and appearances by Billy Porter, Todrick Hall, Whoopi Goldberg, Ciara, NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson, Chaka Khan, RuPauls Drag Race All Stars, Shangela, Bob The Drag Queen, and many more.
Thank you to all the producers, artists, performers, managers, government officials, and the entire Heritage of Pride team, for an amazing collaboration and commitment to helping bring the Humans of Pride Documentary Project to life for the world to see.
