Revelers at the NYC Pride March — the 49th annual — on Sunday celebrated their individuality in defiance.

More than 48,000 marchers and about 100 colorful floats flowed down a new parade route, passing by the historic Stonewall Inn, while about 2 million spectators lined the streets.

This year’s theme, “Defiantly Different,” was meant to be an “unflinching stance” in response to the Trump administration’s treatment of the LGBTQ+ community, organizers said.
