For our second annual Pride in Pictures, LGBTQ Nation asked readers to submit a meaningful photo of themselves at Pride.

We have absolutely loved seeing your joy, your glitter, your fabulous outfits, and of course, your pride. Now, we’re spending the summer sharing some of our favorite photos and stories with all of you.

What makes this photo special to you?

I was a board member for this organization [the Transgender Community Coalition] in 2017 when it was voted Organization of the Year. It was the first time that I had ever been in a parade of any sort. Being a life long car person, riding in a 1938 Buick Limited Convertible was just the icing PLUS a cherry!
