Another year, another Chicago Pride Parade—one of the very best things about summer in Chicago. An estimated one million people descended upon Boystown for the 48th Annual Chicago Pride Parade, greeted by sunny skies, moderate temperatures and more than 150 groups marching in solidarity with the LGBTQ community. Orange Is The New Black’s Lea DeLaria served as this year’s grand marshal, with Senator Tammy Duckworth and Mayor Rahm Emanuel marching, too. Check out some photos from the spirited summer afternoon.
