For our third 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.

Name: Paula Herbert

Location: Jacksonville, FL

Caption: This was the first Pride Parade in Jacksonville after COVID and it is also the first Pride Parade that I participated in, carrying the Transgender Pride Flag for the entire length of the parade, approximately 2.5 miles; I thoroughly enjoyed it and met so many supporters that I did not know about. I loved it!
