The woman with the pink ribbon on her hat is the third Grand Marshal, Edie Windsor - Edie Windsor's fight against DOMA began when she was slapped with $360,000 in federal estate taxes upon the death of her partner of 44 years, Thea Speyer. If she and Thea were able to legally marry, she would not have been charged those taxes. She's worked to bring her case all the way to the Supreme Court. Justices heard the case in March of this year and the decision struck down DOMA. Now gay couples who are legally married are to receive the same protections that straight couples receive. Thanks Edie

Great pictures, Chuck! I would have been a basket case if I'd been there. And all the floats and marchers had such style!

If you ever get tired of bowling, I think you'd be good at that, Sweetie. ;D :-*

Great pictures Chuck, looks like a great time. The guy in the fire truck looked like he liked what he saw. ;)

Wow, NY looked positively dignified compared to SF yesterday! The SF pride parade was the largest in the world. I watched it on TV and it was great! It was wild.
Great pics! I really enjoyed looking through them!
-
Great pics, Chuck!
Must have been really fun to be there in person! ;D
-
It was great to be there in person!
I wouldn't say the parade was "dignified", as we definitely had our share of peacocks in full bloom, but they seemed to move too quickly, and were blurred in my pics! LOL

At the very back of the float is a drag queen in a light blue top, and short blonde wig. That is Coco Montrese, a contestant from the most recent season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Thank you, Chuck, for showing us all the interesting, different angled pics of the sign for Northern Dispensary.
I loved them all.
(oh yes, and all the colourful people in front of it too, btw :laugh:)
