...is a culmination of a week-long festivities, including the Mermaid parade in Conney Island. The original purpose of the parade on 5th Ave was to commemorate the 1969 riots at Stonewall Inn of gays and lesbians at the hands of NYPD. Through the years became an upbeat event that draws huge crowds, though always there is a moment of silence in the memory of the victims.Today, we decided to walk over to Corina and Kevin 's place, but because the sidewalks were too crowded we ended up marching in the parade. We danced, laughed, and had a good time with the group we attached ourselves to.
Participants displayed an array of creative and original costumes
...and of course politicians... they don't miss any occasion to promote themselves...
