CLEVELAND
No pride in racism, war, occupation
"No pride in war, racism and occupation" was
the message Cleveland anti-war activists brought to this year's
Pride celebration. Their banner--Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Trans for Peace, which had already been carried in many local
and national anti-war protests--was extremely well received.
The majority of on-lookers joined in the chant, "Hey, hey, ho,
ho, that son of a Bush has got to go."
This year LGBT activists were celebrating the flying of the
rainbow flag for the first time from the city halls of
Cleveland and nearby Lakewood. Among the Grand Marshals were
members of Heights Families for Equality, who on June 23 filed
petitions to make Cleveland Heights the first city to institute
a domestic partner registry through ballot initiative.
