The 54th New York City Pride March attracted tens of thousands of people on Sunday.
During the event, which commemorates the 1969 Stonewall uprising and is the largest of its kind in the U.S., attendees wrapped themselves in Pride flags, danced and watched a variety of performers along the streets of Manhattan.
Despite the joyous mood, the upcoming presidential election and laws threatening the rights of the LGBTQ community motivated many to show their support at the parade.
Some parade-goers also called attention to the war in Gaza, as Palestinian flags waved on many floats and some attendees wore kaffiyehs. In the afternoon, about a dozen demonstrators carrying pro-Palestinian banners blocked the parade temporarily.
