PRIDE IN ALL COLORS T his year's Pride celebration was a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprisings, one of the most recognized counterculture protests of the late 1960s and the start of the modern-day gay rights movement. SAG-AFTRA was at the heart of Pride parades in New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles. National Executive Director David White and Chief Operating Officer & General Counsel Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, both Stonewall Ambassadors, were also joined by high-profile members and allies for the union's annual salon dinner on June 24. The celebration continued during the weekend of June 28, with Stonewall Day at the historic Stonewall Inn. It included a luncheon and a concert headlined by members Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys. Two days later, members of the New York Local participated in WorldPride, traveling the city streets in a colorful float.
