Observers on Main Street in Northampton might have been surprised to see a Pride march passing by on June 7. After all, the city’s 27-year-old LGBT Pride march was held back on May 3. But this time around it was the New England Transgender Pride March that was taking to the streets – the first such event ever held in New England.
Beginning at Lampron Park and ending at the Armory Street parking lot, the Transgender Pride March followed the same route as last month’s LGBT Pride March; it also consisted of many groups and individuals who had marched last month in Northampton Pride.
