Despite the cloudy, humid day and threats of thunderstorms, thousands of people carrying or wrapped in Pride flags celebrated the New York City Pride March on Sunday June 30.
The march commemorates the 1969 Stonewall uprising, the spark that lit the rights movement. The New York march is the largest of its kind in the United States, with around 25,000 marchers and around two and a half million spectators expected to celebrate. There were a large number of pro-Palestinian marchers/demonstrators as well.
