San Francisco's Chinese New Year's Parade, which took place on Feb. 11, included its first gay and lesbian float, according to CBS5.com .
Gay and lesbian couples paraded through downtown San Francisco and Chinatown on the Gay Asian Pacific Alliance float, which was followed by supporters of same-sex marriage.
'This is an issue that our community truly embraces,' Alliance spokesman Andy Wong told a reporter. Wong also called the float 'a really great opportunity to showcase support for equal marriage rights.'
