In June 1981, 200 people marched from Ohio State University to the Statehouse to commemorate the Stonewall Inn riot of 1969, which was a key event in the fight for gay rights.
The following year, Columbus held its first Gay Pride Parade, organized by Stonewall Columbus, with about 1,000 marchers.
Over the years, the event has turned into the second largest Pride Parade in the Midwest behind Chicago with about 750,000 people participating. Columbus was named among U.S. News & World Report's top 21 Pride parades and celebrations in the U.S. for 2023.
U.S. News noted Columbus is "one of the fastest-growing and most LGBTQ-friendly cities in the country." The outlet also highlighted Stonewall Columbus' "Purpose. Passion. Power." theme this year, which serves as a reminder of the original Stonewall uprisings, highlighting the purpose of Pride protests as well as the passion and power of the LGBTQ+ community.
