Houston's 46th Pride Festival and Parade is increasing security following a series of warnings issued by multiple government agencies earlier this month.

"We want to reassure our community that your safety is our priority," Pride 365 said in a statement

The move comes after alerts issued by the FBI, the U.S. State Department, and the Department of Homeland Security warning about the potential for terrorist attacks at Pride celebrations.
