The iconic Pride March came roaring down 5th Avenue like never seen before, it did not disappoint! There certainly was a different kind of electrifying sensation about the event this year. Could it be because some of corporate giants like M.A.C actually gaving away makeups and not just stickers? Or perhaps the unusually high number of attendance, including kids with their families.
Once the usual government officials such as the Senator, Mayor, Governor, et.al made their way out, Grand Marshall Billy Porter led the party. Corporations used the opportunity to show solidarity with the LGBTQ community, and of course to promote their wares. It’s inevitable. Political statements were also prominent at the event.
I don’t recall the last time I left the Pride March with so many swags. I made it home with makeup, towels, shopping bag, Barbie canvas bag and so many items! The March is the only event in the city you can expect not to go home empty handed… provided you know to place yourself in the earlier part of the parade route.
