In case you hadn’t noticed the wave of rainbows that have covered your feed lately, June is Pride month. Prepare yourself for a month of events and celebrations, all in honor of the queer struggle and to honor the LGBTQ+ folks who paved the way. On Saturday in Dallas, the iconic Billy Porter commanded the party by acting as Dallas Pride's honorary grand marshal.

The highlight of the entire month is no doubt the parade, or in Dallas’ case, parades. These events bring the community together, with creative floats from queer-friendly businesses, local groups and (debatably) socially conscious corporations. This celebration gives queer people a safe space to kiki, network and wear the tiniest shorts they can find in their closet. We compiled a list of our favorite looks and moments at Dallas Pride.
