Good morning! I don’t know about you, but my weekend has been so gay. From celebrating on Friday to the internet turning into a world of rainbows and seeing Pride celebrations from London to Chicago to New York to San Francisco. Today’s Morning Brew could be 20 pages long, but I tried to grab the best bits for you.
First up: I love that Orange is the New Black stars participate in NY Pride.
Also at NY Pride: Ellen Page, shooting her new Gaycation series for Vice.
#nycpride with @ianjamesdaniel and @vice
