San Francisco Gay Pride Parade attracts multitudes

Published



SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The 44th Annual San Francisco Gay Pride Parade attracted more than 100,000 spectators and participants under unseasonably warm and sunny skies Sunday.

The hundreds of motorcyclists of the lesbian group Dykes on Bikes took their traditional spot at the head of the parade and loudly kicked off the festivities with a combined roar. Corporate support was also strong with thousands of employees representing large companies marching through San Francisco’s downtown to city hall. Apple Inc. had one of the largest corporate presences with an estimated 4,000 employees and family clad in white T-shirts with the Apple logo and the word “Pride” emblazoned on the front.
