Parade director Mariela Spirelli said about 5,000 people would march in the parade this year, including LGBTQ+ icon and former “Star Trek” actor George Takei and Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, the city’s first female and first out fire department leader. “We definitely encourage our groups to make clear it’s a 1st Amendment parade, so they can express what’s top of mind every year.” A group of motorcycle riders in the LA Pride Parade on Sunday in Hollywood.
