“We’re all as one.” People participate in the 2016 New York City Pride March. “What motivated me to come to the parade this year was to show support, to show what we stand for, and what I believe in and what I love,” she said. Onlooker Clarissa Polanco told NBC News that she was proud to attend the march. The three Grand Marshalls for the march were Syrian refugee Subhi Nahas, activist Cecilia Chung, and reality TV star Jazz Jennings, who at 15 is the youngest grand marshal in Pride March history. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and Hillary Clinton were all in attendance, waving to thrilled crowds. From the sidelines, loud cheers went up for groups like the National Basketball Association and the New York Police Officers Band.
