Matt Foreman was appointed Executive Director of the Empire State Pride Agenda in December, 1997. Under his leadership, the Pride Agenda has been the driving force in passing a statewide hate crimes law (the first statewide law to provide protections to lesbians and gay men), repealing the 150-year old consensual sodomy statute, obtaining nearly $6 million in state funding for lesbian and gay health and human services, negotiating New York City's comprehensive domestic partner law, and in enacting local non-discrimination laws and policies in Buffalo, Ithaca, Nassau County, and Westchester County.

2001, the odyssey that is our community’s fight for equal rights continues…

New York City has held a Pride March since 1970, the year after Stonewall. We’ve marched up 6th Avenue (in fact, only HALF of Sixth Avenue) without a permit and with an enormous police escort (and who were they protecting us from anyway?). We’ve marched all the way to Central Park from the Village; we’ve started at Columbus Circle and walked past the grand hotels and the amazed tourists (now THAT was a long March route!). Once there were no floats, now there are floats in abundance. Once there were only a few dozen groups from New York City, now groups and businesses from all over the Northeast join us. Some even compete for the coveted Best Out-of-City float award.
