Our Commitment to the LGBTQ+ Community This NYC Pride Weekend and Beyond


This weekend, New York City will come alive with celebration, color, and community as Pride Weekend takes over the city streets. From the iconic NYC Pride March to rooftop parties, drag performances, and community events across all five boroughs, Pride is not just a celebration — it’s a powerful expression of visibility, resilience, and love.


At Blitz Law Group, we’re proud to stand in full support of the LGBTQ+ community — not just during Pride Month, but every day of the year. We believe in non-discriminatory legal representation for all and are fierce advocates for equal rights, protections, and justice for LGBTQ+ individuals throughout the tri-state area.



🏳️‍🌈 Our Commitment: Inclusive Representation for All


We’ve represented clients from every walk of life, and we understand that the LGBTQ+ community faces unique challenges both inside and outside of the courtroom. Whether it’s a personal injury case, an assault, or a case involving discrimination, you deserve an attorney who sees you, hears you, and fights for you.


At Blitz Law Group, our clients never have to wonder if they’ll be treated fairly — it’s our core promise to provide empathetic, aggressive representation that respects your identity and your dignity. Everyone deserves safety and justice. Period.



⚠️ Staying Safe During NYC Pride: What to Know


While Pride is a celebration, it’s also one of the largest public events in the city — and unfortunately, accidents and injuries can happen. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:


🧴 1. Stay Hydrated

Many events take place outdoors in the summer heat. Bring water, especially if you’re marching or dancing for long periods.


👟 2. Wear Supportive Footwear

Blisters and falls are common during parades and block parties. Stay comfortable and avoid injuries by wearing shoes with good traction.


🧠 3. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings

Large crowds can make it easy to trip, get pushed, or accidentally injured. Keep an eye on exits, stay with friends, and know your location.


🌈 4. Beware of Intoxicated or Aggressive Behavior

Unfortunately, some individuals may attempt to disrupt or harm LGBTQ+ community members during Pride events. If you feel unsafe, remove yourself from the situation and seek help immediately.



💥 Common Injuries That Happen During Pride Events


    •    Tripping or falling in crowded streets or venues

    •    Assault-related injuries (verbal or physical)

    •    Heat exhaustion or dehydration

    •    Injuries from malfunctioning parade floats or event setups

    •    Drunk-driving accidents or pedestrian injuries after parties



🛡️ What If You’re Assaulted for Being Queer or Trans?


Let’s be clear: no one has the right to touch, harm, harass, or assault you — period.


If you are physically assaulted or harassed during Pride because of your sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, it could be classified as a hate crime under New York law. You may also be entitled to civil damages — meaning the person (or entity) responsible can be sued for your pain, medical expenses, lost wages, and more.


Examples of civil claims we may pursue include:

    •    Assault or battery lawsuits

    •    Premises liability if a venue failed to provide adequate security

    •    Negligence claims against event organizers for unsafe conditions



📣 Know Your Rights — And Know Who’s in Your Corner


Blitz Law Group is here to support you if your Pride celebration takes a turn for the worse. You have the right to feel safe and protected in public spaces, and we will fight for justice if that right is violated.


If you or someone you know is injured during NYC Pride — whether due to an accident or an act of violence — don’t wait. Our team is ready to listen, advise, and represent you without judgment and with relentless determination.
