Top 10 Photos Of NYC Pride

Check out the photos from coverage of the New York City Gay Pride parade -- the gayest event in all five boroughs (and that’s saying a lot!).

Causing hearts to flutter was Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, one of the parade’s three Grand Marshalls (along with activist legends Cleve Jones and Anne Kronenberg).

No parade would be complete without drag queens and New York boasts some of the nation’s most original ladies-who-happen-to-be-gentlemen. The best ones are not just beautiful, or well made-up—they’re often talented dancers, seamstresses, and even jugglers.

Not only the parade is great fun; the crowd watching is just as entertaining. Especially when lusty, muscular guys in Speedos and police hats hand out invites to exclusive parties (or was it a massage website?).

Of course, the parade floats feature a plethora of gorgeous men, women, and everything in-between—even national television shows want a piece of the action.

In the end, many of those who attended the parade end up at a bar, dance party or club after they run out of fuel. Hudson Street bar restaurant Alexandra held a party hosted by bartender and music video producer Matt (pictured above), featuring hot music, mini Cuban sandwiches, and sulty boys (patrons and bar-dancers alike).
