PRIDE PARADE

Today was the Pride Parade in New York City.

The start for the Parade was 36th Street and 5th Avenue.  The parade journeyed South down 5th Avenue passing 32nd Street and 29th Street.  It continued Southward until it turned right for its finish in Greenwich Village.

We live at 32nd Street and 6th Avenue and our church, Marble Collegiate, is at 29th Street and 5th Avenue.  Point being, we weren't able to attend church because of the parade so we attended the parade.

The parade kicked off at 12:00, noon.  A light rain started around 3:00 PM.  We can see the parade from our apartment and it's still going as we approach 5:00 PM.  It is huge!

The depth and breadth of participants was staggering.  There were America's biggest corporations, banks, consumer products, foods, etc. along with Elected Officials and hopeful Elected Officials, Governmental Agencies, Unions, Churches, and multiple community groups participating.

New York has parades such as the Puerto Rican Day and the Irish's St. Patrick's Day parades.  We've never seen crowds or longer parades than the Pride Parade today.

I've included quite a few videos and I've also left a whole lot out.  You are invited to view if you wish and get a flavor of New York City's Pride Parade 2013.
