STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Known as the voice of one of New York’s hottest radio stations, Z-100′s Elvis Duran brought his celebrity to the borough when he wed Staten Islander Alex Carr, in 2019.

The couple have become voices for LGBTQ+ inclusion on Staten Island and beyond. Duran’s star power coupled with Carr’s long history of activism — including sitting on the Board of Directors for the Pride Center of Staten Island — has given them a platform to express the need for LGBTQ+ inclusion.

In June 2019, Carr and Duran were honored by the Pride Center at the Stone House restaurant in Clove Lakes Park, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots; $70,000 was raised for Pride Center of Staten Island, including more than $37,000 donated by Duran and Carr.
