Dallas Holds March for Equality, Pulse Shooting Victims

Sunday night people marched down Cedar Springs Road in Dallas for equality and to remember those lost in the Pulse nightclub shooting one year ago.

Dozens in the LGBTQ Community and its allies marched to remember the 49 people killed in Orlando a year ago Monday. They also marched to remember the 13 trans women killed so far this year.

"Right now what's important is equality for everyone," Melissa Baize said. She is marching for her son who is transgender. "He is wonderful, artistic, kind, beautiful, everything positive, I love him."

Baize said it is tough for her child. She said there's bullying, rejection making it hard for the family.

"Get to know us," Baize said to those who do not agree with their values. "Get to know other transgender kids, other people in the LGBT community we're all just like you."

The long walk down Cedar Springs Road included a call to action -- to keep shining --for those lost and light the way for those whose journey has just begun.

Dallas police were also on hand for the day's march and rally. There were no reported incidents at the events.
