Many of the spectators celebrating their sexuality - accompanied by lots of friends and family - were decked out in colorful beads and leis, and waving Pride flags. The parade stepped off at noon from Benton and River streets and traveled through downtown. 'Today signifies One Aurora,' Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin said as he walked in the parade. It was only four months ago that the Aurora City Council voted unanimously to award a permit for the LGBT Pride Parade.
The lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community from throughout the suburbs attended Aurora's inaugural Pride Parade Sunday afternoon.
