On Sunday, hundreds joined GLAAD in the historic NYC Pride March as the city welcomed millions for WorldPride. This was the first time in history that any U.S. city has hosted WorldPride, with this year’s celebration coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. The 2019 March in New York is said to have attracted a record-breaking 4+ million attendees, making it the most celebrated Pride event in history.

In this year’s march, several celebrities and influencers joined GLAAD, including Melissa Etheridge, Billy Gilman, Raymond Braun, Sonya Deville, Geena Rocero, Stephanie Beatriz, and Kat Cunning. These notable guests joined GLAAD President & CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis atop a custom GLAAD float equipped with giant GLAAD amplifiers and wrapped in historic imagery representing 50 years of LGBTQ representation in media. Also on the float, GLAAD’s very own DJ Blacklow kept the energy alive all day with many LGBTQ anthems and remixes.

Each celebrity on the float, as well as the 150+ marchers who represented GLAAD, sported looks from the Express LOVE UNITES collection that benefits GLAAD. As an official pride & apparel sponsor, Express is donating 25% of the net income from each LOVE UNITES item purchased by July 15 to GLAAD’s ongoing work to accelerate acceptance for the LGBTQ community.
