| | Gay pride parade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A pride parade is part of a festival or ceremony held by the LGBT community of a city to commemorate the struggle for gay rights and gay pride. |
 | | The rainbow flag, sometimes called 'the freedom flag', was first used to symbolize gay pride and diversity by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978, at a gay pride parade in San Francisco in 1978, and is now commonly displayed in gay pride parades throughout the world. |
 | | Large parades often involve floats, dancers, drag queens, and amplified music; but, even such celebratory parades usually include political and educational contingents, such as local politicians and marching groups from gay and queer institutions of various kinds. |
