Colours of Pride

Many places around the world celebrated WorldPride 2014 recently, around June 29, the date of the Stonewall riots.

The vibrant LGBT parades added colour and drama to the streets as volunteers paraded in costumes. These ten days of celebration turned streets into parades, parks into parties and strangers into friends. Every place had its own theme - for New York, it was 'Generations of Pride', which honoured the civil rights battles that finally led to electing the city's first openly gay mayor, last year. For San Francisco, the theme was 'Colour our world with pride'. A dash of glamour was added by celebrities like Macklemore, Ian McKellen and George Takei, who took part in the parade.
