The sun was rising at Cheesman Park on Sunday, and Roy Vestal was ready to climb aboard the Mile High Freedom Band's float for its 25th foray in Denver PrideFest's parade.

He's seen some changes in the biggest event of the year for the city's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

"We used to march, but our knees got old so now we ride," said Vestal, the conductor. "But the big thing I've noticed is the crowds. You used to have bottles flying out on us. But those jeers have turned to cheers."
