Under a warm sun, thousands of revelers lined up along the route for the 2012 Boston Gay Pride Parade on June 9, whooping and cheering for marching bands, bike clubs, and Mayor Thomas Menino.

The parade, which is in its forty-second year, began in Copley Square, wound through Clarendon, Tremont, and Berkeley streets, and ended at City Hall Plaza. Click here for more information on Boston Pride.
