Pride

Across Indiana, community attitudes toward LGBTQ pride seem to be warming as more communities host events. Even as a wide swath of organizers told WFYI they have seen improvements, some groups report more harassment, wavering sponsors, and local government trouble compared with years past.

Indy Pride announced a slew of changes in honor of its 30th anniversary. Additions to the yearly celebration include a two-day slate of musical performances and a free celebration taking place on Monument Circle.

The Indy Pride Parade hit the streets of Indianapolis Saturday to the cheers of thousands.

The Southern Indiana Pride Festival returns to downtown Jeffersonville this weekend. Event founder Evan Stoner said its meant to promote the area as a place where kindness and diversity thrive.
