San Francisco's gay pride parade—touted as the world's largest—got a healthy infusion of vegetarian pride on Sunday. Working with local group Bay Area Vegetarians, PETA showed up in full force—accompanied by more than 100 men and women who were eager to educate the public about the benefits of a vegetarian diet.

Obviously, everyone who participated in the parade had tons of fun—but the icing on the (vegan) cake is that more than 500,000 people attended the event and learned that by cutting meat out of their diets, they could be healthier, reduce their carbon footprint, and save over 100 animals' lives per year.
Check out even more pictures of the parade here.

San Francisco, Portland and Boston are three of the most animal friendly cities in the Nation. Many vegetarians reside in all three of them !

All I can say is - Note the words "touted as the world's largest" parade (Meaning - free media... again).
Then again - why should anyone be surprised anymore?

I wish I would have known I would have gone, I usually avoid pride week because of the extreme traffic but I love the crowd!
