Photography: NYC Pride March 6/30/24 I closed out a very busy June with an afternoon photographing the NYC Pride March โ€” the granddaddy of all Pride Marches. Roughly two million people participate and/or attend it every year. And it doesnโ€™t matter whether itโ€™s snowing, raining or swelteringly hot, people will show up to celebrate themselves โ€” and show that theyโ€™re allies and friends. Honestly,โ€ฆ

I know it's not pride anymore but I wanted to make a post abt my reaction to the NYC pride parade
This was my first pride parade so everything I knew abt stuff like this was from the internet but it really wasn't what I was expecting. It honestly didn't really feel like much of a celebration to me tbh
There weren't very many floats; most groups were either walking or were up on double decker buses. The floats they did have weren't every decorated and looked like a bunch of ppl blaring music on an empty metal platform behind a truck. I know that's technically what a float is, but I thought they would decorate them a more.
It stared out with government officials; the mayor, the governor, a few different people from congress. Then it got into the corporations. It was just group after group of different companies. Car insurance, beauty products, airlines, almost every type of business you could think of. Target was there. That was weird. It felt like two hours of advertisements. A lot of them were giving out free products/merch/promotional stuff too. And maybe these companies really are trying to help queer people or maybe it's all performative but I thought that pride was supposed to be about the people. I'm not kidding when I say it was hours of corporate sponsors.
There were noncorporate groups too tho. Lots of unions, support groups, a few museums, public schools/colleges, hospitals, and religious groups. There were a lot of ethnic groups as well; Ireland, Italy, Mexico, the Caribbean, an indigenous group, a bunch of east African countries marched together, a bunch of Arabic countries marched together, a bunch of eastern European countries marched together, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot more. That's who pride's about but they were far and few in between compared to the corporations.
There was also not as much kink as I thought there would be. Everyone's raging over the debate on if kink belongs at pride so I was prepared for something that would actually warrant a debate. There was a group of leather daddies, several drag queens, and a few magnificent costumes but like 80% of the people there were in a t-shirt and shorts. It felt very... normal. Like I could see any random person in the parade on the street and not bat an eye. I thought there was going to be more of a reason to have this kink debate in the first place.
There were three marching bands, two flag twirling groups, a running group, a cheerleading group, and a roller-skating group. Two different groups dressed up like the new Barbie movie, a motorcycle gang made of elderly lesbians, a motorcycle gang made of elderly gay men, and a group of Black lesbians. They decided to put the parade route right outside the Harry Potter store for some reason and a few people from the Jewish group that was marching stopped to take a picture of them flipping it off. There was an ambulance (that was more decorated than some floats) that a hospital brought but it had to leave halfway through bc there was an emergency lol It left the parade, sirens blaring, and zoomed off to go help someone. The Playbill company who runs all the Broadway shows had a float playing Disney music. Idk why they chose Disney but it was interesting to hear thousands of people singing together.
The people in front of us had clearly had a lot of experience with coming to the parade because they brought chairs. They were opening snack after snack and must have got there hours early to stake out a spot. They were pros at this. My legs went numb from standing in one spot for four hours and I was so hungry afterwards, I ate one and a half Chipotle burritos in one sitting. Clearly, I'll have to take my cues from them if I go back next year lol
Everyone came out to see it too. The streets were packed, people were climbing on top of garbage cans and crosswalk signs. People were sitting up in the windows and roofs of the surrounding buildings. People were climbing up the construction scaffolding and some of them even figured out how to get on top where only the workers are allowed to go. That's all very illegal but by gay, do crime ig lol

There was only one moment where I felt any happiness or pride in being queer. A trans support group was walking past and everyone cheered. One kid, they looked ~13-14, grinned at the crowd and started jumping up and down with joy. They looked so happy and supported and free. It was infectious. Idk who that kid is and I'll never see them again but I'm so glad that they feel that proud of who they are.
It was a good experience and I'm glad I went but except that one brief moment, I didn't feel any pride or community. Like I said before, it was mostly corporations and I feel no loyalty to them. I was surprised by how big and diverse the rest of the groups were, but I didn't know any of them and I'll never see any of them again. Maybe it's my autism but I only felt mildly happy. Idk, I'm disappointed in myself. It was my first pride parade after being out for six years and I felt nothing. Oh well.

Antisemitism in 30 minutes or less!
NYC Dyke March: we want it to be clear that we recognize the pain of the Jewish community and the rise in antisemitism. We want to make it clear that Jews are welcome and safe within our community.
~~~30 MINUTES LATER~~~
NYC Dyke March: Someone in our team posted saying Jews are safe and welcome in our community. We understand how hurtful this statement is and we want to make it clear that we are NOT antisemitic however, Jews are neither welcome nor safe in our community. We wish to reiterate again the fact that we are NOT antisemitic though.

It was announced that Yasmin Benoit, an asexual activist from the U.K., will be one of the Manhattan Pride 2023 Grand Marshals.
This is the first time Manhattan Pride has ever had an asexual Grand Marshal, which is big news for the ace community!
