Application for ‘Straight Pride Parade’ approved by City of Boston.
Quote:
An application for the proposed “Straight Pride Parade” in Boston was approved Wednesday by the city.
With their public event application, organizers got city permission to host a parade on Aug. 31 from noon to 3 p.m. However, they still need approvals from the police department and licensing board to receive a needed parade permit and entertainment license.
Mayor Marty Walsh has previously said the city could not deny the group behind the proposal, Super Happy Fun America, a permit for the event because of disagreements with the event organizers’ values or beliefs.
“Permits to host a public event are granted based on operational feasibility, not based on values or endorsements of belief,” the mayor said in early June.
