KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hundreds of people gathered in Kansas City, Missouri, for the "Show Me KC Pride" parade on Saturday.
The parade on Saturday marked the first of its kind in years.

Honored to emcee Kansas City’s first #pride parade in more than a decade, and represent @KSHB41. Being an ally means showing up for loved ones and neighbors, and I’m proud to do that today. It’s a lovely day to celebrate love. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ pic.twitter.com/k9Pu2GXmPn
