atmosphere that's been missing for the last two years. ♪ >> those are just some of the colorful entertainers who showed off their pride today. even some proud pooches walked the route. people came to offer messages of support and even free mom hugs. i've bee told by a lot of people that their own mothers i m gls came out, i was inks like, you're still the same person, you're not any different. >> at the same time, many felt that it was important to speak against the controversial supreme court ruling restricting access to abortions. >> this is our future. like, whatever happens now, it's going to affect us and, like, millions of other americans. and i think, you know, getting out here today and, you know, hopefully for the rest of our lives, will liberate change.

a small group of police officers marched in today's parade, some in uniform and some in plainclothes after weeks of debate between pride organizers and local government leaders about whether uniformed officers should take part. a compromise was made which let lgbtq officers take part. it wasn't just officers. all first responders marched together as one. >> i think it's very important, i'm happy to be here and represent for oakland police. there was another pride parade today where hundreds of people came out to honor the original pride movement. kpix 5's john ramos has more. >> reporter: even as san francisco's pride parade was returning in all its glory, across town there was a smaller event meant to honor the spirit of the original pride movement. we're used to seeing the pride parade celebrated on market street. but in 1970, one year after the stonewall riots, it all began as an angry protest march along

polk street. today several hundred people took part in the people's march, an event founded by juanita moore and alex nguyen during the pandemic following the murder of george floiyd. >> this is how it started and we knew we had to of course get back in the streets and protest. we decided to do it here on polk street where the first gay liberation parade was. >> reporter: they hold the people's march at the same time as the pride parade to offer an alternative for those who prefer the harder edge of protest over the happy vibe of a street party. >> you see all these people do not participate in the other parade. it's because it's a parade, it's not a march. and pride is a protest. >> i think the parade has lost their way. they started out with good intention, to emulate the gay liberation movement. then money changes people left and right. >> reporter: many of the marchers object to the rise of corporate participation in the pride parade which they see as insincere. >> i think corporations are just

putting kind of lipstick on a pig. they're going to march and they don't quite follow up with the due diligence of equality and raise all people up. >> reporter: today's march was led by people of color, acknowledging those who don't feel included just as the gay liberation protesters did on polk street 50 years ago. >> they have completely forgot about this event and this historical pathway. and marching brings a reminder that folks who fought for this in 1968 and long before then were suffering the exact same things, the reason we march today. >> reporter: things are happening that have many gay and non-gay people concerned about the future. those who march down polk rather than market street today think the last thing that's needed right now is a joyful celebration. >> they've lost their way totally. and we're hoping to bring it back to neutral and reset and

really have this, the people's march, be for the people. >> reporter: in san francisco, john ramos, kpix 5. >> about 200 people took part in that march which traced the original route down polk street. there were similar scenes taking place across the country today. these are just a few of the parades we saw this morning. taking the opportunity to express their true selves after two years of virtual celebrations. of course at those parades and the one here, the supreme court's decision on roe v. wade couldn't be ignored. with politics on the minds of many of the marchers. anne makovec has the story from the parade route. >> reporter: there's been a variety of messages here. of course we have the political content since we've heard from the supreme court about the right to have an abortion. we've seen a lot of signs and a lot of chants dealing with that and a lot of rainbows as well. there is love here, there is

pride. and a lot of political messages on the parade route today, from women's rights to gun control messages. we've seen some politicians, we've got scott weiner coming here, he's certainly had a lot of moves on all of the political subjects that i was just mentioning, which are very popular here with this crowd. he's getting the applause. but as i said, everybody's getting the applause, because that is the good vibes that we have here at the parade. i'll throw it back to you guys. >> on the other side, while thousands of protesting the supreme court's decision, others are celebrating. kpix 5's shawn chitnis spoke to them about the end of a decades-long mission. >> reporter: local religious leaders say they're grateful for the supreme court's decision, never expecting to see roe v. wade overturned. but they also admit that here in california their work is only just beginning if they want to

stop abortions from happening in this state. a weekend of reflection for different religious communities around the bay area. those opposed to abortion rights say their faith has been strengthened by friday's historic decision. >> we still have ways to go, so we're also coming together to pray and ask god that he would show favor towards us and that we can begin the work of changing the culture even here in a liberal state like california. >> reporter: last week silicon valley reformed baptist church gathered to celebrate. like their leader, pastors at some other churches hope for an end to all abortions but were unsure they would live to see roe v. wade overturned. >> it was always a residue of faith to believe that god can do things that we don't see possible. humanly speaking, i didn't think it would take place. >> reporter: the lead pastor at celebration church in livermore hopes he can engage those who support abortion rights as the debate will likely intensify in

his home state. >> our position has to be what we see as our core values. you can disagree with people without being disagreeable. >> reporter: for the california catholic conference, it's a time for joy. but they also want to show support toward women who struggle with getting an abortion. >> it is difficult to raise a family in california but it's not impossible. and we're here to help. >> reporter: focusing their response on a potential state constitutional amendment on abortion rights in the near future. their approach remains the same, though, and hopes to change minds among the majority in california. >> the work that we've been doing has been bearing fruit and has been in fact successful. >> reporter: shawn chitnis, kpix 5. >> according to the most recent cbs poll, most americans disapprove of the supreme court's decision, with 59% of u.s. adults against it and 41% approving it. among women, two out of three disapprove. still ahead at 6:00 and
