'It's a very emotional day for a lot of us, many of us who are allies of the LGBT community, who have loved ones in that community, or who are part of that community themselves,' he said. For the organizers of the Aurora Pride Parade - the first of its kind in the Western suburbs - seeing that vision become a reality is both overwhelming and humbling, said Chuck Adams, founder of Indivisible Aurora. Many residents said they had been waiting years for their community to host such an event, which celebrated people of all identities. Rainbow flags, colorful balloons and thousands of brightly dressed people lined the streets of downtown Aurora on Sunday for the city's inaugural pride parade.
