Edie Windsor Was The Star Of NYC Pride This Weekend

On Wednesday, Edie Windsor's lawsuit led the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the federal ban on recognizing same-sex couples' marriages in the Defense of Marriage Act. This weekend was the celebration, as Edie's biggest fans — her fellow New Yorkers — honored her as the NYC Pride parade's grand marshal.

Outside the Stonewall Inn, the reminder of the riots of 1969 were offset by the celebration of 2013.

Thea Spyer, Edie's wife who died in 2009, also was recognized by some parade-goers.

And Edie — who said the Supreme Court win felt "glorious" — took it all in, with a broad smile and gracious waves.
