The Gay Pride Parade will fill Houston Streets this weekend.
Houston’s most fabulous celebration of love – the 2023 Houston LGBT+ Pride Parade – is prepping for a divine weekend of rainbow-colored revelry. Strut, sashay and twirl through the tens of thousands of people lining Downtown Houston sidewalks for the annual event, organized by Pride Houston 365, starting at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 24.
In her call to action, Walker taps into the fierce conviction about the progression of LGBTQ and civil rights, which seem to have been on a “one step forward, two steps back” pace in recent years.The question inevitably pops up this time of year, “Why do we need to have a pride parade? There’s no straight pride parade.” The answer is quite simple. Every single day is an unending parade of straight pride.
Thought times aren’t looking as rosy for the LGBTQ community, not all is lost. The antidote to fear is love, which gives way to this year’s parade theme: All You Need Is Love. This year’s Grand Marshals include Margarita Perez Frinsco , Jeffrey Campbell , Ethan Ganz , Christian Menefee , David Andrew Edmonson ,Interestingly, the grand marshals won’t lead the parade, bucking the trend from previous festivities. The first group leading the parade will be composed of transgender, gender non-binary or gender non-conforming individuals, as well as allies, in a march for transgender autonomy.
“Last year’s festival brought record numbers of attendees, but it also brought record numbers of illnesses and record heat. Our board feels like this festival is no longer safe in the daytime,” Walker said. “We want you to be able to come out and enjoy yourself, and we want you to go home safe and happy.”
