Gay Pride Parade Tomorrow Through The Uptown

Rainbow Pride will be on display tomorrow afternoon through the uptown with the annual gay pride parade getting underway at 2:00.

Mack MacKenzie of P-Flag Canada tells CHSJ News there has been alot of change in Saint John in a relatively short period of time but it sometimes can take generations to change attitudes.

MacKenzie says there are still a fair number of people in Saint John who are being given a hard time because of their sexual orientation but Carl Trickey, President of People United in the Lower South End or Pulse, says times, they are a changing.

After the parade finishes up at 3, there will be a barbeque and family fun day at the corner of Main and Metcalf Streets in the North End.
