People packed the sidewalks to watch the annual San Francisco Pride Parade on Sunday June 30. Parade participants exchanged many high-fives and hugs with onlookers as they progressed down Market Street. For many, this year's Pride celebration was made more special by the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage rulings. (Deborah Svoboda / KQED)
