'The vibe has been festive, and that's what we need in pride,' said one celebrator at the march.
PHILADELPHIA --"The vibe has been festive, and that's what we need in pride," said Will Boswinkel of Havertown, Pennsylvania.
"I think pride is important because it lets us be us, who we are, we get to come out. You get to see other people that look like you and remind you of who you are, so I feel like that's really big," said Martha Rivera of Millville, New Jersey."This is my first time at pride. I came out like two years ago now, and this is my first time and coming here, I wanted to come for my first pride with a purpose," said Johnny Perez-Gonzalez of Newark, Delaware.
"I love people, so they're no different than anybody else. I mean I raised a beautiful daughter here, so come on, how do you not love somebody who's part of you? So I'm here to support everyone that feels like they can't come out, and so I'm an ally," said Rosie Brown of Blackwood, New Jersey.
