According to the organizers, this year's Pride event, beat last year's record.
This year's theme, #ResistTogether, highlights the riots 50 years ago in New York that started when police raided the Stonewall Inn, a well known gay bar. It became the turning point for the LGBTQ+ community in the United States to fight for their rights. — Rappler.com
