Fifth Annual Gay Pride Parade Led by Supreme Court Winner
This year the marchers in
the annual Gay Pride Parade were all smiles as they
traversed the route along Adams Street from 21st
Street to downtown. They had reasons to smile. For one, a
landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision this summer has cleared
the path for gay marriage nationwide. Secondly, the man who
prevailed in that case, Ohio’s own Jim Obergefell, served as
the parade’s grand marshal.
The rainbow flag was
everywhere as hundreds of participants took to the streets
to celebrate the progress the gay community has made in
recent years, particularly with respect to marriage rights.
