All across the nation, millions of people are celebrating LGBT pride.

From New York City to San Francisco, hundreds of pride parades and marches are taking place as a way for the LGBT community and allies to band together in unity. From celebrity guests, like Sir Ian McKellen in New York City, to a variety of audacious performers, these parades and marches are an amazing sight to behold.

The events are also serving to raise awareness for serious issues, such as LGBT youth homelessness and suicide.
