It began as a peaceful protest march now Vancouver’s pride parade has exploded into a huge event, drug people from all walks of the life. Debra Gobal reports.

“Happy parade, it’s for everybody.”
“Pride means to be proud of exactly who you are and not trying to fit in a cookie cut mode.”
If you didn’t like lighten displays of the gay life style, Vancouver probably not the place to be Sunday afternoon. But if you were a little boy with 2 dads, it was the perfect place.
“This is Daddy.”
“This is Richard.”
Devon Rameriz Ling knows what’s to live in an untraditional family.
“It’s OK with me, but probably not sometime.”
“You know he is just 7 year old kid, but he has two dads as a gay and you know it’s just much part of who he is as the part of us.”
“Today is very special day for the parade.”
Specially, because this is all about acceptance.
“Happy parade!”
“It doesn’t need to recognize everybody wants to celebrate different ways our life and our city. That’s what gives our city the vibrancy.”
Back when this parade started with more of march to pickup their right. Now is for celebration.
“The best part is just total acceptance for everybody.”
“Being this year is liberation.”
“Let the hard thing coming out, and to see all these people who are just here, don’t really care. Hanging out and celebrating, it’s good.”
And more than a half million people have come and to do just that.
“I hope they feel believe and learn that people are all the same and that you know about inclusivity and about human rights.”
“Of course, it’s a family thing, you know, why not?”
It doesn’t’ really matter what kind of family you come from. For one little boy that is the best part.
“It was awesome.”
