June ended with a bang this weekend as Pride Month came to a close.

The weekend included massive parties and New York City’s Pride March, all featuring a few famous faces.

The cast of Pose—Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, and MJ Rodriguez representing the series—served as grand marshals of NYC’s Pride March, alongside the Gay Liberation Front, Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, The Trevor Project and Monica Helms.

This year also marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, with many coming together to celebrate the monumental occasion.
