      Love was in the air in Vancouver's West End for today's Pride parade.

      The annual march for acceptance and inclusivity celebrated its 40th anniversary.

      It's a day when people showcase their gender expression, knowing they'll be fully accepted in the midst of hundreds of thousands of their fellow residents.

      Of course, the Pride parade also brings out politicians, tech workers, school-board staff, and people from every other walk of life.

      Below, you can see a few photos taken shortly before the event.

      Happy Pride!
