In pics: Iconic landmarks across the world lit up for ‘Pride’

Numerous landmarks across the world were lit up in celebration of marriage equality and Pride weekend. This year's Pride weekend was celebrated with added grandeur as the event came days after the historic US Supreme Court ruling in which same sex marriage was legalised across the United states.
Rainbows and good cheer were out in force in the United States as hundreds of thousands of people pack gay pride events from New York City to Seattle, San Francisco to Chicago to celebrate a Supreme Court ruling legalising same-sex marriage.
Organizers of San Francisco's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Parade, just called "Pride," expect about 1 million revelers. It will have 240 groups marching in a parade Sunday and more than 30 floats, its largest in 45 years.
"I just think it's going to be magical this year," said Gary Virginia, board president of San Francisco Pride.
That's because the U.S. Supreme Court issued a long-awaited ruling Friday giving same-sex couples the right to marry in all 50 states. Leaders of Pride celebrations in other cities echoed Virginia’s comments."It's going to be an epic weekend," said
David Studinski, march director for New York City Pride. "I actually just wrote on Twitter that this is the most historic Pride march since the first."
