LGBT pride glows in Ohio
For the 12th year in a row, thousands of lesbian, gay, bi,
and trans people and their straight supporters marched
through the streets of downtown Cleveland to celebrate
Pride.
The June 16 march drew youths and students, religious
groups, AIDS activists, lesbian/gay/bi/trans people of color
organizations, and others. For the first time the
newly-formed Radical Ohio Queers marched under the a banner
reading "Anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-capitalist,
pro-queer." Led by lesbian/gay/bi/trans students from Kent
State University, this group was backed up by Pride At
Work--AFL-CIO, the lesbian/gay/bi/trans labor organization.
Together, these two groups led militant chanting with such
slogans as "We're here, we're queer, we're gonna free
Mumia."
