NEW YORK (WABC) — “Pride 2026: For All of Us,” WABC-TV’s annual Pride special, features a variety of stories about New York City’s LGBTQ community and beyond.
This year’s show is hosted by WABC-TV’s Sam Champion, Lauren Glassberg and Kemberly Richardson. The show’s theme, “For All of Us,” aligns with the one NYC Pride chose for its 2026 events. It’s taken from a quote attributed to Stonewall veteran and trans activist, the late Marsha P. Johnson: “There is no pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.”
The show will feature a profile on T Lounge, the only bar in New York City owned and operated by trans women. This story is particularly relevant considering today’s political climate and growing anti-trans rights movement.
The show will also include a profile about the New York Ramblers, the world’s first openly gay soccer club. Plus, we share an intimate profile of a gay Army veteran from Brooklyn, who was drafted at the age of 18. Charles Pisano lived in constant fear of being outed, in the military and at home. A fateful visit to the Stonewall Inn would be a turning point in Charles’ life. This story will be tied into information about the 250th anniversary of our nation and statistics about LGBTQ service members.
“Pride 2026: For All of Us” will also feature a profile about a unique walking tour of historic LGBTQ sites in the West Village and a look inside The Lesbian Herstory Archives, which is home to the world’s largest collection of materials by and about lesbians and their communities.
On the comedic side, we sit down with “Fulla Regrets,” a digital drag queen growing in popularity on social media. “Fulla” is an old-lady with a saucy sense of humor and wild stories to tell. The character was created by a gay man in Queens, who combines clever costumes and sharp-witted humor, with a filter that transforms him into an elderly lady.
Plus, we catch up with “Dancing With the Stars” dancer, Ezra Sosa. The 25-year-old is not only a rising professional dancer, but also a choreographer and an outspoken LGBTQ advocate. Sosa will perform a special dance he’s prepared just for our show.
Watch the 2026 PRIDE March on Channel 7 and wherever you stream ABC 7 New York, including Disney+, on Sunday, June 28 starting at noon.
