world records

Although estimating crowd size is an imprecise science, as of June 2019, New York City’s NYC Pride March is North America’s biggest Pride parade. They had 2.1 million people in 2015, which rose to 2.5 million in 2016. In 2018 attendance was estimated around two million. For Stonewall 50 – WorldPride NYC 2019 up to five million took part over the final weekend. With an estimated four million in attendance at the parade.

São Paulo, Brazil’s event, Parada do Orgulho GLBT de São Paulo, is South America’s largest, and is listed by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest Pride parade starting in 2006 with 2.5 million people. They broke the Guinness record in 2009 with four million attendees. They have kept the title from 2006 to at least 2016. They had five million attend in 2017. As of June 2019, it has three to five million each year. In 2019 They had three million.

As of June 2019, Spain‘s Madrid Pride, Orgullo Gay de Madrid (MADO), is Europe’s biggest, it had 3.5 million attendees when it hosted WorldPride in 2017.

Lennon

During the session for “Baby, You're a Rich Man”, John Lennon supposedly changed the line in the chorus to "Baby, you're a rich fag jew" (MacDonald, 2005). According to author Bob Spitz, this was either a joke at the expense of The Beatles’ gay Jewish manager Brian Epstein “particularly in regards to the group’s complex and bewildering financial picture”, or as an “offensive nonsense rhymes” against the band’s moptop clean image.(Womack, 2014; Spitz) Spitz writes that the session tapes also reveal Lennon improvising similarly "wicked" remarks about Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger. Partly as a result of these disruptions, they required twelve takes before they achieved a satisfactory rhythm track.(Unterberger, 2006)

[Brian Epstein’s article, Personal life section:]

Lennon delighted in mocking Epstein's sexuality; a popular rumor holds that during the recording of "Baby, You're a Rich Man", he sang altered choruses of "Baby, you're a rich fag Jew".(MacDonald, 2007; Norman, 2009)

Similar phrasing is on the Lennon article which starts the paragraph with:

Lennon delighted in mocking Epstein for his homosexuality and for the fact that he was Jewish (Harry (2000b)).

Notes

• It likely originated in Shout!: The True Story of the Beatles (1981) by Phillip Norman, who didn't cite a source... It seemed he simply listened to the song, and that's what it sounded like to him so he reported his theory as a fact.
• In Revolution in the Head: The Beatles' Records and the Sixties (1994), Ian MacDonald references several possible motivations including that Lennon was taking a dig at the religious Beautiful People movement. [John does not mention Epstein when talking about the song in the 1980 Playboy interview.]
• Bob Spitz's colossal quadruple biography The Beatles: The Biography (2005) states this as fact.
• Beatles vs. Stones (2013) by John McMillian, reports as fact “George Harrison dubiously claimed that the song touted an uplifting, Eastern-tinged message: the idea that anyone can be "rich" because richness comes from within. But Brian likely surmised that "Baby, You're a Rich Man" was an unfriendly song, intended specifically for him. One can only hope (perhaps faintly) that he didn't notice the despicable way that Lennon corrupted the song's chorus as it faded out. Instead of singing "Baby, you're a rich man too," he sang, "Baby, you're a rich fag Jew." Baby, you're a rich fag Jew. It wasn't the first time Lennon had attacked Brian that way, but that didn't make it any less outrageous, especially considering everything that Brian had done for the Beatles. Though it is hard to imagine now, showbiz managers in the 1960s looked after their clients a bit like parents did their children”
• Steve Turner's book A Hard Day's Write?
• Allen W. Pollack, a reknowned musicologist, includes the reference to Epstein and the "rich fag jew" in his website. But he can’t be sure because of the mix.
• Mark Lewisohn, has been referred to as the world's leading authority on the band due to his meticulous research and integrity. His works include The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions (1988), a history of the group's session dates, he listened to every Beatle multitrack when he wrote his concisive book about the Beatles at Abbey Road. If those words are in there (rich fag jew), he would have heard it and wrote about it. He didn't, so he didn't, and there's nothing there to inflate.

In 2013 she won Favorite TV Actress and Best Tweeter in the annual AfterEllen Visibility Awards for popularity.

In March 2014, Palmer thanked “my incredible partner, Alex, and my beautiful son Luca” during an acceptance speech for the Fan Favorite category at the Canadian Screen Awards which media outlets reported as referring to her coming out as LGBTQ. Her statement refers to television and film producer Alex Lalonde, and son Luca from a previous relationship. In a 2017 interview she explained that she has had relationships with men as well as co-parenting with Lalonde, but feels that her sexuality has no bearing on her work, and is more complicated than a straight-gay binary.

The couple has been seen out publicly, according to Autostraddle, as early as 2011. They “advocate for queer representation” in the entertainment industry, and have taken part in fundraising for the performing arts. Alex’s father is Canadian singer and television host Pierre Lalonde (1941 – 2016). In Montreal Gazette’s obituary on Pierre, Palmer and Alex were presented as life partners.
