In Turkey, police used water cannons to clear a rally Sunday in Istanbul. The event is considered a march, Studinski said, because the movement still has much to accomplish. New York City expects 22,000 people marching in a 2-mile route and more than 2 million people to visit throughout the day. "I actually just wrote on Twitter that this is the most historic Pride march since the first." "It's going to be an epic weekend," said David Studinski, march director for New York City Pride. Virginia's comments were echoed by leaders of Pride celebrations in other cities. Supreme Court issued on Friday a long-awaited ruling, giving same-sex couples the right to marry in all 50 states. "I just think it's going to be magical this year." "Every trailer in Nevada and California has been rented and brought in, including one from a farm in Northern California," said Gary Virginia, board president of San Francisco Pride. It will have 240 groups marching in the parade and more than 30 floats, its largest in 45 years. Organizers of San Francisco's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Parade, just called "Pride," expect about 1 million revelers.
