Guillermo Vasquez Corner
Streetcorner in Queens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
40.7452°N 73.8882°W / 40.7452; -73.8882 Guillermo Vasquez Corner is a streetcorner named after Guillermo Vasquez, a leading gay rights, AIDS, and Latino community activist in Queens, New York. The corner is located at the intersection of 77th Street and Broadway. Councilman Daniel Dromm drafted legislation for the name change.[1]
The location to name this corner was chosen because it is located near the site of Love Boat, a former gay Latino bar where Vasquez educated the community about HIV/AIDS.[2]
