By Black Radio Network Staff

                NEW YORK - More than 30,000 marchers are on the streets of Fifth Avenue today as New York celebrates Gay Pride Day.  An estimated two million spectators viewed the 46^th annual parade.

                There was a moment of silence before the parade started to honor the 49 people killed in the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

                Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance.  NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said “this will not only be a celebration of love, but it will be a rejection of hate.”
