What I saw at Queens Pride 🏳️‍🌈

While I filmed, my kid took these incredible photos. A thread

This Queens #Pride2023 video is now on IG

Oh Rafael--what a gorgeous compilation you put together for us. This is my first Pride without my wife of 23yrs and she would have loved this. You captured all the spirit. Thank you. Here's my contribution: Philadelphia Pride Remembered: A Love Story

Raphael, I was just a kid (19 yrs old) when I went to NYC in 1976 from NEBRASKA and marched in what we then called the Christopher Street Liberation Day March. Seeing your video shows me how far we've come in the face of hate. Beautiful.

@dimpNewYork This is beautiful!

wonderful. took me a minute to realize this was Pride in Queens, not a special Pride for Queens / femmes.

@BernieBuddy16 Beautiful footage. Well done.

Beautiful representation of what I always wanted Queens Pride to be all about! Thank you @rafaelshimunov!

@robynenes Thank you for sharing this. So much beauty and joy. 🌈
