Not a drizzly forecast, a fencing fiasco around Dupont Circle, nor the ongoing political hostilities toward the queer community coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue were enough to dampen the spirit of D.C. Pride parties this weekend.

The 51st contributor and photographer Shedrick Pelt hit the streets to capture the celebrations this weekend, joining revelers at a block party, parade, and march.
