In an ode to the 1960s Reminder Day demonstrations, the march began with speeches and a ceremony unfurling this year’s 400-foot-long rainbow flag - the largest in Philadelphia history. The day ended in the Gayborhood with thousands of people celebrating queerness and the start of Pride Month. Philly Pride 365 is led and coordinated by Galaei Philly, a nonprofit advocating for queer, trans, and Indigenous communities.
