OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The 39th annual Heartland Pride Parade took place Saturday morning.

Close to 200 groups and organizations walked in the parade, and thousands attended the event, including Omaha’s “P-Flag.”

“We’re parents of queer kids or we fit under the LGBTQ umbrella ourselves,” said Rachel Murphy, P-Flag co-president. “Going to the support meetings has just helped some of us create a community and being more comfortable with living in Nebraska and some of the struggles that come with that.”

P-Flag, like many other organizations, have been around for years and have been participating in the parade for decades.

After the parade, the festivities continued at CHI Health Center.
