It was a long hot day at the NYC 2023 Pride Parade. More crowded this year post pandemic.

But the energy was infectious. Colors, fabulousness, characters messages, inclusivity to celebrate being who you are in all the colors of the rainbow.

LOVE IS LOVE 🌈

Some highlights of what I saw.

The people watching starts before the parade… and w the heat your fan game had better be hot!

This man’s pin face was a show stopper. But how does he eat?

There is so much here: Joy, love, hope, acceptance, power, truth, beauty, memory. PRIDE.

Brought me to tears this morning -- remembering friends lost to AIDS & those who couldn't march, and feeling such love in abundance. I love my city. Thank you, Diane.

I actually went to my first Pride event ever this year.
It was small. But fun.
I will do it again and also plan to travel to a bigger city to attend as well.
