One million at Pride

Hundreds of thousands lined the route and spirits were high in the wake of the fall of DOMA and Prop 8. More contingents than years past, following a new and improved parade route, including a large contingent of elected officials sporting shirts with the motto, “I’m a yes for marriage equality.” Many well-attended annual Pride events completed the very busy weekend.
