New York City was a beacon of love as it played host to WorldPride, one of the biggest celebrations of Pride month which celebrates members of the LGTBQIA+ community. June is marked as Pride month considering it was the month when there was an uprising between members of the gay community and the police at the how-historic Stonewall Inn. This sparked the gay rights movement and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the clash that still resonates today.

The massive Pride parade in New York was on Sunday and Hollywood showed up and showed out with Pose‘s Billy Porter, Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, Mj Rodriguez and Steven Canals in attendance. Also sending love from the streets of New York were Kate Moennig, Leisha Hailey, Jennifer Beals, Leo Sheng, Ilene Chaiken, Rosanny Zayas and Arienne Mandi from the forthcoming The L Word: Generation Q.
