LGBT
2023 marks the 53rd anniversary of the first gay pride march in New York and other cities. Most Gay Pride Parades in the United States are held in June, which is unofficially known as ‘Gay Pride’ month.
Where It All Got Started
The most historically significant Gay Pride Parade, of course, will be held later this month in New York City, where it all got started 50-plus years ago.
A guide to this weekend’s Top 12 Gay Pride Parades follows (with links for more information). Please note: while most of the parades are taking place on Sunday, and few are being held on Saturday.
