The event featured 130 entrants, including grocery stores, banks, politicians, television news stations and advocacy groups. Organizers said prior to the event they expected more than 400,000 participants, making it the largest ever gathering of LGBT people and their allies in Southern California.
Sunday’s event was the first LA Pride since the Supreme Court’s landmark decisions last summer that allowed same-sex marriage to, once again, be legal in California.
“It’s happier this year,” Raymond Sylvester, 74, told the Los Angeles Times. “People are happier. They can get married now.”
