GET ME REWRITE: "A few hundred" Trump supporters march in Straight Pride Parade in Boston

Boston's Straight Pride Parade draws hundreds of marchers and even more counter protesters.  (USA Today, 8/31/2019)

After months of build-up and debate, drawing the attention of late-night talk shows and the scorn of many in this liberal city, a few hundred marchers took part Saturday afternoon in a Straight Pride Parade in Boston.

The conservative-aligned marchers – many wearing "Make America Great Again" hats and other gear promoting President Donald Trump – started from Copley Square with a "Trump bridge" serving as the primary float. They held American and Israeli flags while Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." blasted from speakers. A man dressed as a giant dinosaur set the pace up front.
