Los Angeles Pride 2011 in Photos!

An estimated 400,000 people came out and celebrated the 41st Annual LA Pride event this past weekend in West Hollywood. Other highlights of the parade were attorney Gloria Allred in a convertible surrounded by the “All Reds,” a dozen women and men in drag sporting blond wigs and Allred’s signature red suit, a fire truck full of Micky’s bar employees (go-go dancers included, of course), many Gay-Straight Alliances and college LGBT organizations, riders and roadies who participated in this year’s AIDS/LifeCycle, a contingent of vintage car enthusiasts, and the U-haul trucks driven by cast members of Showtime’s lesbian reality series The Real L Word.

Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir rode in his first-ever pride parade this year as the Grand Marshal. During a news conference beforehand, Weir noted that his outfit was picked out by his mother.

The main entertainment stage at the festival featured CeCe Peniston, Mya and Margaret Cho (this year’s Morris Kight Lifetime Achievement Award recipient) among others.
