NEW YORK -- The Queens Pride Parade and Multicultural Festival, New York City's second-oldest and second-largest Pride march, is this weekend. 

Thousands turn out to every year to recognize the impacts of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people in our history.

CBS2 and CBS News New York will have special coverage of Queens Pride hosted by Jessica Moore on Wednesday, June 7.

June is Pride Month, the annual celebration honoring the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community.
