“My only crime is loving myself.”

That’s the message on a sign that led about 400 participants of a Pride parade through downtown Whitehorse on Aug. 5.

The parade started on Main Street, then took Second Avenue to Steele Street, before taking a left down Front Street.

After the parade, a few hundred people gathered at Shipyards Park, where a long line had formed for pancakes.
