Miami Beach Gay Pride held its tenth pride, with vendors on Saturday and Sunday, and a parade and concert on Sunday the 8th. The parade featured grand marshal Gus Kenworthy and ally marshal—as well as South-Florida native—Roxanne Vargas. After the parade was over, the clouds opened up in the afternoon and poured rained onto everyone, but all that did was thin out the herd. Under a fantastic underwater motif, complete with dangling legs of swimmers, Thelma Houston played to a packed house at 8:00 p.m., followed by Taylor Dayne at 9:15 p.m.
