Los Angeles Pride and Resist March

LGBT Pride month is almost over, but the need to stand up for everyones human rights has not gone away. Here are my favorite photos I took at the Los Angeles Pride and Resist March illustrating the breadth of humanity standing together, letting each other know we have each others backs. The long walk from Hollywood and Highland to the stages set up for the rally in West Hollywood was a peaceful one with throngs of people stretching along the route. The view along Sunset Blvd as I looked back to see the people stretched out along the mile between La Brea Ave and Fairfax Ave was inspiring, knowing that the sea of humanity before me were all there early on a Sunday morning so they could march in solidarity.
