''Parade spectators MUST stay behind barricades. Only registered parade entries, Parade Marshals, police, and other city officials will be allowed in the street.''

Organizers of Chicago Pride Parade which is instituting new restrictions that put a damper on many of the favorite interactive features of the event including an end to tossing items such as beads, condoms and candy, use of water cannons, and the ability of any observers to enter the street to hop on or off of floats. City safety regulations are being cited as the reason, and it is reported that last year one person fell off a float and broke their leg. (CBS2)
