DOT crews painted a rainbow crosswalk Saturday onto the iconic intersection of 7th Avenue and Christopher Street to celebrate WorldPride.
It marks the third year in a row the crosswalk near the Stonewall Inn has been painted in a colorful show of support for the LGBT community.
The Stonewall Inn was declared a national monument to honor gay rights in 2016. This year marks 50 years since the Stonewall uprising fueled the fire for a global LGBTQ movement.
