My second pride parade was in the early nineties. So, big already, since it was SF, but not corporate to the extent it is now. I marched with a bi contingent...don't remember exactly which org. When we saw somebody standing on the sidelines we recognized, we'd run over & try to pull them into the parade to march with us. If they did, we'd chant "we recruit! We recruit!"

I don't feel like we could get away with that nowadays. For a variety of reasons.
