Since its inception in 1995, no sitting London mayor has participated in the Pride parade.
But that will change this year.
Joe Fontana has confirmed his attendance for the parade on the 24th. "I won't speak to any other mayor or politician's decisions but I will attend the parade later this month," he said.

Thanks for this, londoner. My first instinct was that if Joe Fontana was the first mayor to march in the London Pride parade, I don't take that as promising. Then I realized that if Joe Fontana was the first mayor to march in London Pride parade, Rob Ford is a blinking idiot.

You didn't know that already?
Yay, London!
Calling Ford a blinking idiot is too kind 
I know; he never blinks.
Perhaps he has a nictitating membrane instead. Of course vivisecting him is the only way to answer the question definitively.
