Some of them look different, some are dressed in their own way, but all of them are there to celebrate one thing: unity. A celebration is happening, complete with a special parade! As the parade begins, people of all kinds march down the street: women on motorcycles, people dressed in rainbows and waving flags, musicians and performers and children and animals.
