These are some of my images of the New York Pride March on 30th June 2013. The event began with a short press conference where several people spoke of their experiences. One of the highlights of the conferences was the appearance of Edie Windsor whose remarkable struggle for justice led to the repeal of the DOMA that denied the same rights to gay couples as those granted to others. The conference ended with a speech from Harry Belafonte who has an impeccable record in supporting human rights in every sphere of life.
After the speeches came the march. It's not just a celebration of LGBT rights and achievements but a celebration of tolerance for all.
