'One giant family': PrideFest offers 'safe space' for city's LGBTQ+ community

A breeze stirred flags of varying colors, carrying music across the span of Scissortail park as crowds meandered in and out of various tents Saturday morning.

People dressed in colorful garb, with painted faces, carrying fans to help stave off the brutal summer heat laughed as they strolled with their friends and family.

Among those in attendance at the early festivities during Saturday's PrideFest events were fitness fans and families, couples and friend groups all coming together to celebrate.
