New York City Pride Was Back to its Former Glory

After two years of scaled-back parades and virtual events, New York City Pride came back full force on Sunday, with the annual Pride Parade at its colorful center. Corporate businesses and non-profit organizations alike had spectacular floats in the parade, which made its way down 5th Avenue in Manhattan with music, confetti cannons, celebrity appearances and Pride-themed swag being tossed into the crowds that lined the entire route. Several MediaVillage member companies -- including Ampersand, Hearst (pictured below), Disney, Comcast and NBCUniversal -- had a presence in the parade, celebrating and sharing in the happiness of the day. As the parade made its way downtown and onto Christopher Street, the birthplace of NYC Pride, the darkness emanating from the Supreme Court of the United States was certainly on everybody's mind, but it didn't compromise this celebration of queer joy and love.
