New York City is the largest Pride parade in North America, and has been going on since 1970, just one year after Stonewall.
Throughout the decades the LGBTQ+ community and our allies have come together in New York City every summer to show how strong, beautiful, and numorous we are and to march for our rights.
Here are 50 pictures from the 70's to 2000, showing off what NYC Pride has looked like through the years.
