San Francisco had a Gay Pride Parade

June 24, 2006 - Tens of thousands of people wearing complex costumes and waving banners rattled sound makers, blew whistles and cheered as participants marched in San Francisco's 36th annual Gay Pride parade.

There was a grave side to this year's parade, too, with national corporations noticeably present and the national debate over the matter such as gay marriage looming large.

Thousands of people in multi-colored wigs and face coat lined Market Street downtown as marching bands, dancers and floats behavior corporate logos streamed by.

"They're gay," said Michael Crowe, 63, as a marching band playing "ABC" by the Jackson 5 filed past. "How do they march straight?"

Crowe, a resident of near Newark, Calif., said he does attend the parade for years. One of the most prominent differences this year, he said, was the high-profile presence of corporations such as Delta Airlines, Wells Fargo and Kaiser Permanente. The companies sponsored drifts with corporate logos emblazoned on them. Delta's float was a tease jetliner.
