The wonderful thing about Florida weather is that they can have their parade and festival in March, while the rest of the nation is still bundled up. Possibly the first city each year to have it's celebration, this year PrideFest 2012: Beyond the Rainbow rocked Fort Lauderdale on March 17 and 18 with featured performer Taylor Dane.

Enjoy these great images by J.R. Davis and Steve Shires from the great folks at Pride of South Florida.
