San Francisco Pride to be carried live on local TV

San Francisco "Proud Heritage, Powerful Future" has been selected as the theme of the 29th annual San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Pride Parade on June 26 and 27.

San Francisco is home to the world's largest gay pride event. Organizers expect a MARC GELLER (2)

live audience of one million people, making it the second largest event of any kind in the state of California, second only to the Tournament of Roses Parade.

San Francisco television Channel 20 will broadcast the entire parade live.

The Pride Parade begins at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 27, at Market and Beale streets and ends at Market and Eighth streets.

The grand marshal will be Harry Hay, age 87, who has been an activist for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender causes for 50 years. P-FLAG, Parents, Families and Friend of Lesbians and Gays, has been named the organization grand marshal.

For the first time, the grand marshals were chosen by the gay community of San Francisco..

A moment of silence will be held at noon during the parade to remember victims of violence and those who have died from breast cancer and AIDS.
