Pride March Tyria
As we moved out, I think this picture pretty much sums up my feelings.

Thanks so much for organizing a great community event! It’s a lot of fun! Here are some screenshots I tweeted:

Some screencaps from the start on my (little used) Tumblr: http://grumpytea.tumblr.com/
There was great turn out and awesome people all the way. From what I’d heard there was five maps when we started out and fairly few trolls/haters who had quickly been dealt with.
Thank you, everyone, for making this the wonderful event it was.
Hope to see you next year.
Hugs and loves <3
Great event everyone, fun chat too! Was cool seeing such a great turnout from people at anet as well
I was there with my charr Vyranith, running a yellow commander tag.
As for trolls, I didnt see any, not even the NPC mob variety! Though the separatists and sons of svanir decided to sabotage some bridges the parade was going through X3
Also we need more commander tag colors, so we can do a rainbow next time
Give Charr armor some more love!
Let us show our spots, stripes, or lack-there-of in style.
Thank you OP, and thank you ANet!
I didn’t join until a little later (around Diessa) but I had a lot of fun with the event. <3

I had so much fun. I popped between worlds, and the turn-out was amazing. Here is one of my favorite screenshots. (I took a lot. )

Made this video of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6qhETjil08&feature=youtu.be Thank you to everyone who attended!!!
I can’t get on until 12 am eastern, but the Bring Penguins to Tyria movement was with you in spirit!
My partner and I loved the event. I heard about the TS NPC in Lion’s Arch. It would be a cool touch if ANet programmed any LGBT representing NPCs to join the March on each instance next year. Maybe even to lead the groups since so many got disconnected from the groups because of full instances. Some got lost when there wasn’t anyone to show the path on that instance. Maybe give the leader NPC a pride flag.
Couldn’t be there because of work, but I did love seeing the tweets with screenshots
Easily distracted mes—SQUIRREL!

Thank you OP for organizing this event! We had a great time.
Much love from [Owls] Owl Legion of Kaineng; we’ll be there next year!
Regardless of your feelings about Pride Marches, if you didn’t attend you missed out. Bottom line: great atmosphere, friendly happy people, and lots of fun.

Well, my character modeled on her (Sya Kello) was there. Unfortunately on a laptop with a dead wall power outlet and bad wifi on a train due to complete its journey about the time the march ended. Translation: I was running rather than walking. When I eventually looked up to see my screen I noticed people were saying others could follow me as an option since I was tagged up … whup!
Oh, were you the purple tag running group I saw exiting fields of ruin?

Probably (although there were a lot of tags that color yesterday). When we got to the next region people were asking why everyone had ran.

I should have taken more pictures. But I was too busy running around passing out fireworks.
Oh man! I wish there was more publicity about this. Completely missed it.
Aaaah, I just found this today.
Shame I missed it, but it’s great to see the pictures and hear support from the playerbase.
:D
I had so much fun at the Pride March! The love and support there was absolutely amazing. QUEET QUEET!
