Fim de semana gay em NY

Desde sexta-feira NY é super, hiper colorida. O mundo gay está enlouquecido, ainda mais agora que neguim pode casar com neguim e sandalinhas pode casar com sandalinha com todos os direitos, etc. e coisa e loisa e tal. Hoje  é o grande momento pra turma colorida. Quem lê em inglês, divirta-se.

NOON The big Pride march begins at 36th Street and Fifth Avenue and works its way downtown to Christopher and Greenwich Streets in the West Village. This year’s grand marshals include the actors Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi; Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera, executive director of the gay-rights organization Freedom and Roam Uganda; and the artist and activist J. Christopher Neal. The day ends with the Dance on the Pier, a fund-raiser that this year will feature the singer Ariana Grande.
2 P.M. If a parade isn’t your style, a more sobering day can be spent exploring “Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals: 1933-1945,” an exhibition at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the show examines how the Nazis tried to “cure” homosexuality, sending an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 gay people to concentration camps.

Brooklyn instead of Manhattan? The multimedia artist Zanele Muholi has spent her career creatively making South Africa’s black lesbian and transgender worlds more visible. The Brooklyn Museum’s exhibition “Isibonelo/Evidence” is the perfect, exhaustive introduction to her visual art and installations. The collection includes her portrait series “Faces and Places,” which pairs black-and-white photos with stories about hate crimes and discrimination in postapartheid South Africa. That may seem dark, but what follows are triumphant, colorful portraits of same-sex weddings today. (200 Eastern Parkway, at Prospect Park, Brooklyn; 718-638-5000, brooklynmuseum.org.)
9 P.M. Pride at the Bell House is like a gay Christmas pageant in summer, according to one of its hosts, Cole Escola. His co-hosts for this variety show are his friend and fellow comedian John Early, as well as the writer Isaac Oliver and the drag queen Hamm Samwich. Guests include the polymathic performer Julie Klausner, Jemima Kirke (“Girls”) and Sasheer Zamata (“Saturday Night Live”). Admission proceeds go to Sage, a foundation that assists older people who are under the rainbow. (Doors open at 8; 149 Seventh Street, at Second Avenue, Gowanus, Brooklyn; 718-643-6510, thebellhouseny.com.)
Before the weekend is over, prepare for Monday’s 9 p.m. premiere of the HBO documentary “Larry Kramer in Love and Anger,” a portrait of this octogenarian author-activist who was a founder of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and wrote the Tony Award-winning “The Normal Heart.” This will be as much a history of modern gay America as it will be the story of his life.
