So it’s only right, then, that its stars ([and Instagram BFFs](http://time.com/2840499/orange-is-the-new-black-cast-friends/ "undefined")) took part in New York City’s pride parade on Sunday. Cast members, including Yael Stone (Lorna Morello), Samira Wiley (Poussey Washington), Dascha Polanco (Dayanara Diaz), Danielle Brooks (Taystee) and Matt McGorry (Officer Bennett) rode in New York City’s pride parade Sunday on an _Orange_\-themed float. Co-star and [TIME cover star Laverne Cox](http://time.com/132769/transgender-orange-is-the-new-black-laverne-cox-interview/ "undefined") was also on hand for the celebration, but she had her own VIP car elsewhere in the parade — after all, she is one of the event’s grand marshals. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2938303/orange-is-the-new-black-nyc-pride/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2938303/orange-is-the-new-black-nyc-pride/"},"headline":"Orange Is the New Black Stars Rock NYC Pride Float","datePublished":"2014-06-29T23:41:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:41:24.501Z","description":"Not-so-straight out of Litchfield","url":"https://time.com/2938303/orange-is-the-new-black-nyc-pride/","keywords":["celebrities","Television","Netflix","LGBT","Orange Is the New Black"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34c4777b4cf83e25/698699d935ba6f5b29c02d0e/451456872.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt34c4777b4cf83e25/698699d935ba6f5b29c02d0e/451456872.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Gay Pride Parade Winds Through New York City","caption":"Gay Pride Parade Winds Through New York City","creditText":"D Dipasupil—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2938303/orange-is-the-new-black-nyc-pride/","name":"Orange Is the New Black Stars Rock NYC Pride Float"}}]}] ```
