\"\"Rick Welts, the president of the Golden State Warriors, arrived at New York\u2019s Pride March on Sunday with his partner, Todd Gage, wearing a T-shirt that read, \u201cProud Champions.\u201d Before its launch down Fifth Avenue, the team’s float slowly began to fill with executives and officials from the N.B.A. and the W.N.B.A. <\/p>\n

via NY Times<\/a><\/p>\n

Bill Kennedy, one of the N.B.A.\u2019s most respected referees, posed for photographs with three young women who were also taking part in the parade. They practically squealed when they spotted him. Kennedy said that more strangers had been recognizing him since he came out as gay about 18 months ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they usually don\u2019t get as happy as that,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

The N.B.A. stood out at the parade, where it was the only major professional sports league to have a float.<\/p>\n
