PHOTOS: Fifteen Things We Love About NYC Pride 2015
Morning showers couldn’t stop New Yorkers from reveling in this year’s NYC Pride March, PrideFest, and Dance on the Pier. The day kicked off with Grand Marshals Sir Derek Jacobi, Sir Ian McKellen, Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera, and J. Christopher Neal. Other highlights included Ariana Grande’s performance and fireworks. However, it was the marchers and the throngs of humanity who stole the show, taking over streets, parks, and piers in perhaps the most joyous and exuberant pride New York City has ever seen thanks to our new freedom to marry.
