They came wearing rainbows, beads, baubles, leis, flags, costumes and, in a few cases, next to nothing at all.

Halifax’s 26th annual pride parade wended its way through the downtown on Saturday afternoon, drawing thousands who cheered, clapped, danced and sang along from the sidewalks to the thumping music from the floats.

The red serge of the Mounties was one of the leading contingents, followed by parade participants from non-profits, unions, churches, nightclubs, community organizations, corporations, sports teams and political groups.

Donna Milligan, 28, watched the parade from the sidelines along with her mother, husband and three-year-old daughter. Rainbow-coloured feathers dangled from her ears as she explained what pride means to her.

"It’s an overwhelming sense of acceptance. It’s kind of shifted from, years ago, it was more about tolerance and now it’s about accepting everybody for who they are.

"It just gives me an overwhelming sense of pride in my community," she said as her bottom lip began trembling. "I’m getting all teary-eyed."

Ryan LeBlanc, 28, took in the festivities shrouded in a large rainbow flag and wearing a bright red, one-piece spandex suit that covered his entire head, allowing just the whiskers from his beard to poke through.

"Pride means just being able to be whoever I am and whoever I want to be without anyone judging me or looking down on me," he said.

Asked why he was compelled to come out and watch the parade, he said, "just a sense of community, knowing that there are other people who have been through the same things that I have, and just sharing that and being open about who you are — even though I’m in a red unitard."

Joseph Nyemah cradled his five-month-old son, Tweh, in his arms as the parade partied down Barrington Street.

Originally from Liberia, Nyemah came to Canada in 2005 and now lives in Dartmouth. He brought the rest of his family to the parade because he wants them to appreciate the diversity the city has to offer.

"I think Halifax is rapidly changing and I think we need to embrace diversity in many ways and I think this event is great," he said. "It shows that Halifax is truly a cosmopolitan city."

Even though Tweh was a little too young to understand, Nyemah thought it was important for the baby to be present.

"I just want him to see this and he can grow up to understand the whole concept of acceptance, of difference, so that he can know that we are different and we have to accept one another."
