Hundreds turn out for Yakima Pride celebration

YAKIMA, Wash.- Hundreds turned out for Yakima's annual pride celebration Saturday.

For the first time, Yakima Pride had a parade that went throughout downtown Yakima.

They also had service vendors, keynote speakers and entertainers at Performance Park.

This year Yakima Pride will also become a non-profit organization.

Organizers say their main goal is to fight for equal rights for everyone.

"Love is love and everyone is equal. Everyone has a deserving right for their equal rights. Don't discriminate because you can have those same people deserving equal rights in your own family," said President of Yakima Pride Cristina Ortega.
