Millions Participate in Pride Marches Nationwide
------------------------------------------------

And millions of people poured into the streets of cities across the
United States for annual Pride marches on Sunday. This is Clarice
Oliver-Hill, speaking at the Pride March in New York City.

Clarice Oliver-Hill: "As a woman of color growing up in a very, very
religious, structured household, it lets me know that I'm OK, that I'm
accepted and I'm loved and I'm great for who I am. … I think events like
this show us that we're not afraid, that we're coming out, we're loud,
we're here, we're not going anywhere."

It's estimated that 2.5 million people participated in the Pride March
in New York City.
