Utah's Pride Parade attracted tens of thousands of spectators Sunday. Many paradegoers said the event helps create a sense of safety, love and unity for the LGBTQ+ community.
SALT LAKE CITY — Music blared and participants cheered as families, parents, teenagers and children wore rainbow-colored shirts, sported signs with company slogans and resources, tied flags around their necks as capes, wore rainbow hats, and danced in the streets during the Utah Pride Festival's parade Sunday.
Avery Miller, another participant at the parade, said the way the community gathers together creates a sense of safety. "In my experience, the very first step is to get over being sad," Osborne said, noting how important it was for her to show support to her daughter. "We wanted to do what we could because not everyone has the strength to stand up," said Memphis Haven, a participant holding a rainbow umbrella. "If we can, we have to protect those who can't protect themselves."Ghost Jensen, another participant holding a rainbow umbrella, noted the joy of attending a pride parade for the first time.
Weisberg added how important it is to prevent hate crimes and biased incidents through education and reporting. Hannah Romney, a crowned Miss Davis County and participant in the parade, also added how as a queer woman herself, the events help create hope amid other community backlash.
