In 2012, more than 30 organizations participated in the second annual Toledo Pride parade, along with grand marshals Toledo Mayor Michael Bell and LGBT advocate Jennifer Tyrrell who took on the Boy Scouts of America’s policies.
Join Toledo Pride in 2013 as we line the streets of Downtown Toledo once again to show our support for the area LGBT community. We are thrilled to bring an event like this to life with the help of our community!
