The colours of the rainbow shone out alongside Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue despite the June gloom, with parade-goers claiming prime actual property as early as 8 a.m., three hours forward of the parade’s anticipated kickoff.
Companies had been decked out in banners representing a number of LGBTQ+ teams, together with rainbow, transgender and pansexual flags. The dinosaur atop Ripley’s Imagine It or Not! was wrapped in a colourful scarf, oversize heart-shaped glasses and an indication displaying “Energy in Delight,” as anthems from queer icons like Donna Summer time and Madonna blasted.
Right here’s a visible report from Instances photographers Wally Skalij, Michael Blackshire, Dania Maxwell and Robert Gauthier of the Delight festivities this weekend.
