CHICAGO - The music was thumping and crowds were dancing Saturday at gay pride events around the U.S., with some revelers saying the partying was proof that people won't give in to fear after last weekend's attack at a gay nightclub in Florida.įestivals and parades went ahead under increased security in cities such as Chicago, Columbus, Ohio and Providence, Rhode Island, a week after a gunman fired on a crowd at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
