New York City’s Pride festivities returned with a bang last year — but not everything was back to normal. While the Reclaim Pride Coalition’s Queer Liberation March drew its largest crowd yet — with tens of thousands of people — Heritage of Pride’s annual NYC Pride March was only held in a hybrid format. This year, though, both marches are back. Take a look back at some of last year’s Pride pictures:
