Marchers walk down 5th Avenue during the 2014 Gay Pride March in New York City on Sunday. Thousands of marchers attended the parade. The parade ended at the Stonewall Inn, where New York City marchers commemorated the 45th anniversary of the 1969 riots, which are credited with launching the modern gay rights movement. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio were in attendance along with grand marshals Laverne Cox, transgender actress and activist, actor Jonathan Groff and Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. The parade was held nationwide in the United States. SD-Agencies
