litter and Gaga and drag queens, oh my! The third-annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade and Festival hit South Beach in a flurry of rainbows and fabulousness, and despite the oppressive heat and flash rain storms, it seemed that a fantastic time was had by all.

While the pride festival ran for an entire week and included events such as movie screenings and comedy nights, the pinnacle of the weekend was undoubtedly Saturday ’s Pride Parade, led by grand marshal Andy Cohen of Bravo TV ’s “Watch What Happens Live."
