A city that opened June roaring “Knicks in 5!” closed it the way it always does — marching down Fifth Avenue in a blur of rainbow confetti and splashing in the fountain of Washington Square Park.
This past Sunday, New York City’s 57th annual Pride March drew roughly 750,000 participants and 2 million onlookers craning out windows and filling sidewalks. Governor Kathy Hochul made an appearance, as did a jacketless Mayor Mamdani waving a mini trans flag — the whole spectacle equal parts celebration and middle finger to Washington. Fifty-seven years after Stonewall, the march that grew from a riot is still, pointedly, a little bit of both.
As he has for the past 20 years, photographer @ryanmcginleystudios brought his camera to the Drag March, Dyke March, Pride March, and Queer Liberation March. Swipe to see the scenes of jubilation he captured and tap the link in our bio for the full collection.
