New York Gay Pride 2009


Story and Photos by Joseph Alexiou

The New York City Pride Parade this past Sunday was a spectacular flurry of bright colors, leather studs, drag queens, dykes on bikes, and muscular men in minuscule swimwear, to be brief. Just about the highest density of LGBT people on the planet, the parade and various after-parties (and pre-parties, and after-after parties, and post parade pre-afterparty...) celebrate our freedom to dress up crazy and invite the whole world to be gay with us!

Aside from all of the usual gender-bending celebrations going on down 5th Avenue into Greenwich Village, the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots were in full swing, including a float containing some original participants. Check out our slideshow below of the parade and a tiny amuse-bouche of the after-party scene (really too early to be a true "afterparty"!).

Happy Pride everyone!
