"Pride means diversity and inclusion celebrating who we are as Gay people," said Steven Hatcher from Oakland.
"In a period where there is so much acrimony, this celebration is bringing together diverse communities. This is something Oakland needs, and it's beautiful," said Oakland City Council Member Carroll Fife.
"This parade means so much. Love is love. This is Oakland's culture. We are out here celebrating. We have the whole city with us," Thao said.
"When I was first elected as the first openly Lesbian official in Oakland, there was no Pride Parade or Festival, now after years of work and community building, we have this incredible celebration," said Oakland city councilmember Rebecca Kaplan.
