Pride parades supercharged by court ruling on marriage
Charisse Jones and Aamer Madhani (USA Today)
Historic. Emotional. Magical. Epic.
Those were of some of the superlatives offered as revelers nationwide marched Sunday in gay pride parades supercharged by the historic Supreme Court ruling extending marriage rights to same-sex couples in all 50 states.
In New York, Carina Ramirez, 21, a student who lives in the Bronx, has been to other gay pride parades, but none matched this moment.
