Pittsburgh Pride Revolution March parades through Downtown

A rainbow-colored sea of humanity flooded parts of Downtown Pittsburgh as hundreds upon hundreds of people from nearby states joined in the Pittsburgh Pride Revolution March on Saturday afternoon.

Participants made their way from the City-County Building along Grant Street, down Sixth and Seventh avenues and across the Andy Warhol Bridge to East Commons and Allegheny Center with intermittent chants of “Gay Pride” and “Taste the Rainbow.”

Many waved flags or wore them as cloaks.

Julia Benedetto, 17, and her friend Mik Mortimer, 18, both of Chippewa, Beaver County, had rainbow fans to help keep cool as temperatures pushed into the upper 80s. They watched as people marched along Seventh Avenue.

“It gives me goosebumps,” Benedetto said. “It’s just amazing. It’s very welcoming and it’s nice to know that there are still people out there who support us through all of this rough time.”
