The festivities were set to conclude on Sunday night with closing ceremonies at Times Square and a waterfront concert by Madonna. Rainbow onesie leotards were popular, and there were plenty of colorful wigs, patent leather, fishnets and bright makeup. A shirtless man sporting rainbow-colored wings and high white platform shoes strutted up Broadway.
One woman wore a skintight rainbow dress with a rainbow afro about 2 feet (60 cm) high. “It’s hard for us today, but can you even imagine what some of these people went through in the past? There’s no way to thank them,” said Josh Greenblatt, 25, an actor wearing red sunglasses, a white crop top, ripped jeans and gold-heeled boots at the New York event.Greenblatt said he found his outlandish outfit “empowering,” and he had plenty of competition from revelers stripping down to the barest of essentials and celebrating New York’s legalization of toplessness for women.
