With the Supreme Court ruling in favor of gay marriage just the day before Gay Pride weekend, NYC's LGBT community had a truly monumental reason to celebrate. My personal Pride Weekend kicked off at Hôtel Americano for a brunch co-hosted by Diesel's Nicola Formichetti. The Misshapes DJ'd making the 1pm shindig seem like 1am. Revelers included Gayletter's Tom and Abi, superstar journalists Michael Musto and Lynn Yaeger, model RJ King, YouTube star Aaron Rhodes and a cavalcade of tattoo'd partygoers. Mini-inflated pink swan cup holders were a hit with the kids while giant couch-sized inflated swans provided the perfect location for gay pride selfies. Take a look at photos by Rebecca Smeyne, below.
