It felt great to make it back to New York City for Pride this year. On June 24th, New York City hosted its famous Pride March with over 100 colorful floats and nearly 50,000 marchers. This year there was a new parade route passing by the historic Stonewall Inn. The goal was to reduce the overall time of the procession and wait times for the 350+ groups marching and 2 million spectators lining the streets. It was a bit experimental because next year’s 50-year celebration is expected to bring in massive, record-breaking attendance.<\/p>\n

This year’s Pride parade had the theme: Defiantly Different<\/strong>. Marchers took an unflinching stance in response to Trump’s administration’s treatment of the LGBTQ+ community. Millions came together to unify and to take a stand by celebrating our unique differences and individuality.<\/p>\n
