Gay Couple Married Aboard Rose Parade Float

This year's Rose Parade in California included a shocking sight for some traditional families.

Two men were married on top of a giant wedding cake float as countless families and children watched.

It was the first same-sex wedding ceremony to be performed during the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.

Pro-family forces had been protesting in advance, calling for a boycott of the parade.
