Bittersweet Pride: Joy at the Long Beach parade, outrage over canceled festival

Hundreds of spectators gathered along Ocean Boulevard dressed in rainbow tutus, dresses and shirts, whooping and waving as the Long Beach Pride parade rolled past Sunday morning. Mayor Rex Richardson, wearing a rainbow lei and holding a Pride flag, marched down the street with gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra as Bad Bunny's "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" rang out. "Long Beach Pride in the house," Richardson boomed into a microphone. "Thank you so much for coming out, keeping up this tradition for 43 years."
