Rachel Barker, 21, of Tujunga, who marched in the parade with friends on the Netflix team, said she wanted to cry about the “horrible” Orlando shooting. Edward Ramirez of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station said after the parade. The three-hour parade went smoothly and without incident, Lt. Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said in a statement that the department, which patrols West Hollywood, was in “a heightened state of situational awareness” and would remain vigilant. While many parade-goers were wary in light of recent events, several said they felt even more committed to the cause of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights.
