Thousands of people are taking to the streets in New York on Sunday for a historic Pride celebration. The city is playing host to WorldPride, the largest LGBTQ celebration in the world. It`s the first time WorldPride is being held in the United States, and it is taking place during the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, considered the catalyst for the modern gay rights movement. The parade passes by the Stonewall Inn, the site of the 1969 uprising that saw the LGBTQ community fight back against NYPD officers who routinely raided the bar in Greenwich Village.
