Our marshals, Candice and Jill, will have the bathroom passes so you can leave the parade and re-enter. If you don’t have the passes you run the risk of the cops not letting you back in. See them first.
This year’s pride theme is Liberty and Justice For All. Even though the parade is a lot of fun let’s remember how these parades started 41 years ago. We’re also here to send a message about our community and the things important to us. We encourage you to make signs that reflect that. They can be queer. They can be environmental. They can be both!
On those rare occasions when us native New Yorkers venture to tourist heavy areas we all experience the same thing; tourists stopping to take photos or find their way or walking slowly taking in the sites. Its a positive and negative to being a New Yorker because we like taking your money but we do get annoyed when you get in our way. Improv Everywhere took matters into their own hands and added a tourist lane to the sidewalks to speed up foot traffic.
