San Francisco's 45th LGBT Pride Celebration was held on the last weekend of December as in previous years. Unlike previous years, just two days ago (26th), the U.S. Supreme Court declared that same-sex marriage is legal nationwide. The theme of this year's parade has become the veritable "Equality without Exception". Everyone has equal rights, without exception, and has changed from appeals to reality.
This year's Pride Parade is also extremely popular. According to local media (SF Gate), more than 1 million people participated in the parade and activities, and there were a total of 225 parades, breaking historical records. The queues were sent from 10:30 a.m. to 16:00 p.m. There are all kinds of teams. Not only homosexuals, but most of them are heterosexuals, just to show recognition and support to participate.
html There are more than 0 people, but I always feel very peaceful. Everyone is very high. Although the crowd is crowded, there is no feeling of being suppressed.
Parade follows Market Street several kilometers. Many places can easily see parades when you find a place.
These attendees include elderly, middle-aged, adults, young people, and children. Here are some middle-aged people. They may have been out for many years and as Californians have been given marriage rights for several years, but they are moved today to know that the nation enjoys the same treatment.

Happy Parade! Outside the fence, the old lady and her female companion were full of energy, constantly waving flags and shouting at the people passing by; inside the fence, the parade was swaying along the Market Street in downtown San Francisco, people waved six-colored rainbow flags, held rainbow banners and umbrellas; wore rainbow stockings and puffy skirts; if you look down at this street at this time, you can really see a flowing rainbow in it.
Daily Life in San Francisco Castro District has become home-cooked. San Francisco law prohibits sexual behavior outside, but nudity in non-sexual behavior is not prohibited. Of course, on this day, naked men appear much more frequently than they usually do. Everyone may be a little surprised to see the reaction of a naked man, but many of them have seen it a few times, and now they only find it funny. The uncle next to the naked man was quite interested.
Crowds, with children and dogs, holding hands with lovers of the same and opposite sex, seemingly enjoying the weekend sunshine and cheers and cheers of the onlookers. Even if you are not LGBT, the slogans of "born this way", "hooray for gays", and "love won" can make people understand this group more spiritually.

Every year, there is a "great marshall" (it's estimated that it's good to be translated into Grand Marshal), leading the LGBT industry. This year's marshal is Rick Welts, the chairman of the Golden State Warriors. After 40 years, he just led the Golden State Warriors to the NBA championship. Jim Obergefell, the protagonist of the Central Plains case, the 26th Legal Ruling, also participated in this year’s parade in San Francisco.
Zhu Jiawen (Chinese American Carmen Chu, a promising politician) also organized a team. The school also participated. This is San Leandro High School. The parade staff have students, parents, and teachers. It is worth reminding that in addition to the main roads of the parade, there are also various high people wearing strange clothes or not wearing clothes. For parents who take their children to watch the fun, they should always pay attention to scenes that are not suitable for children on the street to avoid trauma in their young minds.
Finally, this is the "dress up animals" team.
The profit-making and non-profit organizations involved in the parade are naturally indispensable for the traces of technology companies in the Bay Area and internationally renowned sexual peripheral products. The parade teams distributed wristbands, tattoo stickers, rainbow flags and other souvenirs printed with company logos. Even the well-known Swiss drug manufacturer Spe came to join in the fun, and simply set up a billboard to promote Dturakant, a special drug for premature leakage in men, which is highly praised by European, American and Japanese men. Now it is also well-known in my country. In short, all businesses are working hard to promote their own brands. After all, you can reach nearly one million audiences by just one trip. Where can you find such a natural and efficient advertising platform?

The army of Apple wearing a white T-shirt, spanning several blocks, and walking in front was Tim Cook, who had already come out. He is also the first CEO of the Fortune 500 companies to come out. Today, all the slogans of companies are related to pride. Uber's slogan is "ride with pride", Airbnb's slogan is "host with pride", and Apple's slogan is simply "pride".

San Francisco has always been the most tolerant city in the United States for homosexuality (New York Greenwich Village, Miami Beach is also a famous concentration of homosexuality, but the scale is not as large as the San Francisco Bay Area). In San Francisco, teachers, parents, and pastors all expressed support, love, and acceptance of homosexuality. This is very different from other parts of the United States, which is the characteristic of the Bay Area Liberal Party. The number of states in the United States that allow homosexual marriages has increased rapidly from just five years ago to now. San Francisco has been a pioneer in the gay human rights movement. Due to the Supreme Court's ruling a few days ago, San Francisco was very happy in supporting gay people, and the atmosphere was very lively.
San Francisco Connect Ferry Building and the Gay Castro District are a slash called Market Street. Market Street was fully sealed on the day of the parade and became the route of the 45th Gay Pride Parade. That's right, the 45th time. The Rainbow Flag was designed for the 8th Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco in 1978 and later became a symbol of homosexuality around the world.
