The best of Pridefest in Albuquerque...The latest Pride Parade was Saturday, June 10. Images from that event are shown at the head this gallery. Photos from previous parades follow.

I don't recall a crowd so happy, positive and joyful than those who marched in and viewed Saturday’s Parade. Smiles, laughter and good thoughts were everywhere. Despite threats of violence from hate groups and politicians, friendliness, kindness and support of the human spirit prevailed. A powerful aspect of this crowd was that it was the face of the richness and diversity of America. There were young and old, gay and straight, faces of every color and nationality, churches, social groups, and corporate marchers. A gathering all together too rare these days

There are several ways to view the photos. The simplest is to view the thumbnails as they appear. Scrolling down will provide an overview of the photos. Enlarged views can be seen by clicking on images. Once an image is enlarged, you can move through the gallery by using the "previous/next" button in the upper right hand corner. Images can also be seen as a slide show by clicking on "slideshow" in the upper right hand corner. Once begun, the display time can be selected.
