In recent years, a number of said celebrities have come out to Pride festivals to take part in the celebration of love and equality.
Who can blame them?
Have a look at some of our favorite shots here…
1. RuPaul
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Broadway actor, star of Looking and Mindhunter serves as Grand Marshall at New York Pride.
3. Laverne Cox
First ever transgender Emmy-nominee, transgender rights activist, and fashionista at New York Pride.
4. Ian McKellan

10. Gavin Newsom & Antonio Villaragosa

11. Hillary Clinton
Doesn’t she look like she’s having a blast? No doubt her White House would have had some rainbows on it, rather than making it into the swampy cesspool of glowering and corruption its current occupant has built.

Nice pictures, thanks QUEERTY. One query: isn’t that Al Sharpton to Hillary’s left? He’s a neat guy, I miss his show on MSNBC simply because it comes on here west coast at 5 am Sunday and there is no 5 am Sunday (morning). Even a pot of coffee and a bloody mary couldn’t rouse me at that unholy hour. Still, Sharpton gets little credit for his work on civil and human and LGBT rights.
Credit where credit is due, that’s my point.
Happy Pride celebration to all!

Happy to add that Gus Kenworthy was the Grand Marshal of the CNY pride parade in Syracuse NY 2 weeks ago.

I’d rather look at the conjoined twins link at the bottom of the page than a picture of Hillz at gay pride. In her heart, does she give two craps about us beyond our votes?
Love the two mayors at Pride picture. Two straight guys should be able to appreciate some man candy, right? All in fun.

My older sister and Hillary Rodham were classmates and good friends at Wellesley College. I’ll never forget Hillary’s incendiary speech at their graduation in 1969. I happen to know that Hillary has very deep pro-gay feelings, that it’s certainly not merely a matter of vote-getting. Sometimes I think gay men (myself included) are too eager to bite the hands that feed us, support us, and nourish us. There is such deep-seated self-denigration involved in being gay in American culture, and it rears its ugly head far more often than we would like.

Amen! Any story such as this that places a positive light on the subject matter shouldn’t become a political platform. I am sure there are SEVERAL other sites for that rhetoric. Thank you for saying so, GourmetGuy.
