New York City celebrated Pride this weekend, and while many of the events were virtual, it didn’t stop New Yorkers from flooding the streets to march, protest, dance, and spread their beautiful queer joy as two separate parades made their way through the city.
Here are some of our favorite photos and videos from yesterday’s events from both the traditional Pride parade and the Queer Liberation March.
