DENVER (AP) – The Latest on gay pride events across the country (all times local):
11 a.m.
People in wheelchairs, walking on stilts and riding rainbow-decorated motorcycles turned out for gay pride events over the weekend, including people on parade in Denver on Sunday carrying posters of people the names or faces of victims who died in last weekend’s attack on a gay nightclub in Florida.
In Denver, about 2,000 people took part in the PrideFest parade through town to Civic Center Park as hundreds of people lined sidewalks.
Security was tight at events over the weekend. Authorities set up security fences, bag checks, and police rode Segway scooters and walked with bomb-sniffing dogs.
