So we can celebrate virtually, asked our readers to share a photo with us from the first time they went to Pride. Submissions poured in from around the world, spanning every year from 1970 to 2019.

We’ve selected 30 of our favorite photos and stories so we can celebrate with a Pride In Pictures special series and we’ll be sharing them with you every day this month.

What makes this photo special to you?

“I have survived through my young adulthood in repression and isolation from my community, and I can’t believe it took me so long to get here. It was nice to be around so many people like me, and have an opportunity to share a talent – juggling – in the parade! I never expected to be in the actual parade for my first Pride!”
