New York City is extending its cancellation of permitted nonessential events through June as officials work to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced Monday.
De Blasio said in a news conference that the move will apply to parades, concerts, rallies and other large gatherings. He noted that the LGBT Pride, Puerto Rican Day and Salute to Israel parades would be affected by the decision.
"The bottom line is to think about safety, to think about saving lives, protecting people’s health, speeding us to that day when we get more normal," de Blasio said. "This is the right thing to do."
De Blasio added that many of the event organizers are already developing plans to hold the festivities later in the year. He specifically cited the LGBT Pride Parade, noting that New York City was preparing for its 50th anniversary of the first celebration.
"We're going to miss them, but they will be back, and we will find the right way to do it," de Blasio said.

Did you really have to use that parenthetical?
I was thinking “they would probably like that.”
“(Gay Pride takes it in the shorts)”
Literally?
Ten bucks says that a waver will be granted for the Perv Pride Parade.
You beat me to it.
Not news ... gay pride always takes it in the shorts!!!!
LOL That is sick.
They say they have no mental illness and yet these homo women act, and try to dress like a guy so another homo woman can be attracted to it.
So a homo woman likes a woman who tries to act like a guy.
Pathetic.
of course mosques will be open since they are more equal than us.
