Yesterday was the Gay Pride Parade in the West Village. I had never been before, so prior to work I decided to go check it out. It was not only refreshing to see New Yorker’s proudly rally around one single purpose, it was refreshing to see how many local businesses supported the purpose too! Here are pictures of some West Village shops who decorated their windows in support of the Gay Pride Parade:
A touch of rainbow is just the right touch for these businesses:
Magnolia Bakery, hangin’ up rainbow balls for pride, 
The Biography Bookshop, a West Village Favorite 
Papaya Dog: Another West Village Favorite
And here’s to the corporate chains who dropped inhibitions of loosing some homophobe customers and took on some seriously proud window displays:
Marc Jacobs, certainly the loudest and proudest of all of the windows. Awesome.
Cynthia Rowly’s window tells us that she’s gay about gays.
Brooks Brothers, subtle, but classy.
Ralph Lauren, this may just be a colorful window display that they created as a non- commital sign of pride, but I like it.
But Marc Jacobs takes the cake. No Question Last but not least, gotta love the sex shops, representing their turf
