Sarah Mauser of West St. Paul carried the Pride flag Friday along the route of the Emergency Minneapolis Queer Bar Crawl as participants headed down Hennepin Avenue from the Saloon to the Gay 90's. The event's drink proceeds will benefit victims of the Orlando nightclub attack June 12 in which 49 victims were killed. "The rainbow community gets things done," Mauser said. "We are going to make sure this doesn't happen again." At left, Ryan Holman and Igor Ignatovich, both of north Minneapolis, talked about the attack, and the community's resolve, during a stop at the 19 Bar.
