, an organization that supports the gay community, was given a spot in last year's parade. In a Facebook post, the Christian group called Taylor Pride's entry in the parade an"unfortunate oversight." It claimed the float, which included drag performers, contradicted the organization's biblical beliefs.

Osborne said the Taylor Area Ministerial Alliance"made it clear that they were going to be a little more exclusive with their parade and only include certain people in it." "We support adults and youth alike in our community … and a lot of children are not only affiliated with us, but excited about our events and when we participate in events," Rodgers told KUT."So, for those children to be told they really aren’t valid or worthy of a holiday or holiday celebration was just absolutely not OK with us, and we knew we needed to take a stand.”
