Chicago Gay Pride 2011 - In Photos

The Chicago Pride Festival & Parade was held last weekend—July 25 & 26—and as you can see, the party was hot and full of proud, diverse men and women.

For 2011, the Celebrity Grand Marshal was Fernanda Rocha—the first lesbian cast member on the Bravo show, The Real Housewives of Orange County. (Read more about Rocha on SheWired here and here.)

Our sister-site Gay.com sent over these fiesty photos from contributorAndrew Inman, who captured all the action from the parade in a flood of photos.
