Team New York was founded in 1999 as an umbrella organization for inclusive LGBTQ+ athletic organizations for coordinate and collaborate. Team New York was intended to provide a mechanism for local athletic organizations to coordinate for the Gay Games. Out of Bounds was founded in 2000. Out of Bounds was intended to serve as a governing body for local athletic organizations. In 2007, Team New York and Out of Bounds merged into a single entity. 2019 is a important year for our community. This year marks the 20th birthday of Team New York. This year also marks the 35th anniversary of the first pride march organized by Heritage of Pride in 1984. Most importantly, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots which started on June 28, 1969 (Stonewall50). New York City will be hosting WorldPride this month to commemorate Stonewall50, and we are excited to be a part of the biggest pride celebration in the world.
