Top 10 Photos of NYC Pride

1. Sexy Oscar Winner

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). Black is not only a talented writer but cute, with a winning smile, crafted exclusively for our camera!

2. Girl of Many Talents

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.

3. Please, Arrest Me!

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?).

4. Dancing of the Stars

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.

5. Gay Pride Glitterati

Again, we?ve got only good things to say about onlookers with their winning smiles and matching tops!

6. Internationally Gay

Celebrating New York?s superlative amount of diversity was LGBT representatives from Israel to Indonesia.

9. Great Fire Escape View

The best Pride parties in NYC include the infamous Pier Dance and many neighborhood locals who boast great views of the parade (and vice-versa).

10. The Party?s Just Begun...

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).
