In New York City, the final weekend of Pride month was as full of fun activities as ever. They started on Friday night when the annual drag parade stretched from Tompkins Square Park to the Stonewall Hotel and continued on Saturday when
The first annual Levee Parade runs from Midtown Manhattan to Greenwich Village. Photographer Ryan McGinley was on hand to capture the crowds, the colors and the resistance of the participants as they stared and waved signs. (Marchers on Friday again clamored for threats to a nationwide cross-dressing ban, and at the March on the Levees — which coincided with the one-year anniversary of Roe v. Wade’s defeat — the theme was bodily autonomy, and one of the banners was aptly Posted “Body Autonomy.” Read: “Not Your Fucking Body, Not Your Fucking Thing.”) Follow the action through his camera.
