The passage of the marriage equality bill on Friday night couldn't have been timed any better, since it kicked off what was a celebratory Gay Pride weekend in New York City. Rather than a protest or political action, this year's parade down Fifth Avenue and across Greenwich Village was all about celebration. Who cares if the people in Middle America are scared by our drag queens, leather daddies, and dykes on bikes, this year was for us—and what a time it was!

Naturally the unofficial theme of this year's parade was "gay marriage" with plenty of people decked out in wedding dresses, tuxes, and even one drag queen wearing Princess Beatrice's crazy hat from the Royal Wedding. If there's one thing gay people know, it's how to throw a theme party.
