Vice President Kamala Harris and The Second Gentleman joined the Pride Parade in DC today.

The Vice President wearing her iconic rainbow bedazzled jacket at the 2019 SF Pride Parade.

In a first, a Vice President of the United States has joined a Pride Parade, walking with the crowd from DuPont Circle to Freedom Plaza. It’s not Kamala’s first (see above) but certainly a first for a Vice President. Today is also the anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub mass shooting, and #LovingDay.

Capital Pride!

Lest we forget, today is the fifth anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub mass murder.

#WeRemember

Today we mark five years since 49 people were killed at Pulse nightclub. It has been 1,826 days since this tragedy, yet nothing has changed. We demand our elected officials pass commonsense gun safety legislation. #Pulse5YearsLater #HonorThemWithAction https://t.co/foV600EyxL pic.twitter.com/oVDNVaDBoj

Edit to add this from the Vice President: 

Five years ago, 49 LGBTQ+ people and allies were enjoying an evening out at Pulse Nightclub. And then, in an instant, they were gone. Today, we remember those who died and their loved ones—and we recommit to building a world free from gun violence.

It’s also #LovingDay! 

54 years ago, we represented Mildred and Richard Loving in the Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia. We won the case and overturned unconstitutional bans against interracial marriage. #LovingDay pic.twitter.com/pQqVRGJ1rq
