Parade begins in Copley Square and winds its way through the South End to City Hall Plaza

Forty-five years ago, the first Pride “parade” was a protest march. Times have changed, and what was once considered an edgy, outsider event has morphed into family-friendly fare complete with politicians and corporations targeting the newly coveted demographic. Gone are the days when people would talk about the Lesbian Avengers’ float, their favorite drag queens and the scantily clad men for weeks after. The 45th annual Pride Parade will likely be colorful, (almost) appropriate for all ages, and much tamer than its predecessors. Thankfully, no matter how mainstream it gets, it’ll still be the gayest event in town.The late Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the LGBT’s most ardent supporter, is Honorary Marshall. The Grand Marshalls are Stonewall veterans Erica Kay-Webster and David Bermudez.
