This weekend saw the 2017 NYC Pride parade go ahead, featuring some of New York City's colourful and passionate LGBTQIA+ people.
For one in particular, this parade was particularly special.
Chelsea Manning attended the NYC Pride parade for the very first time since coming out as a transgender woman, but also for the first time since her release from jail for leaking classified government and military information to Wikileaks.

Attendees of the parade were very excited to see Manning in attendance:
