WKMS Residents from Murray and other nearby communities begin the Pride parade by Murray State University s campus on Saturday.
More than two hundred people gathered in Murray for a parade through town and a picnic at a local park Saturday to celebrate the LBGTQ community, as a part of Pride month. For some, the celebration was the first Pride event they had ever attended, and the event was only the second ever Pride celebration held in the western Kentucky college town.
The parade started by Murray State University’s campus and went through neighborhood streets, with many waving flags representing various parts of the LGBTQ community and holding up signs with phrases including “Trans Rights Are Human Rights.”

A small group of Murray residents making up local high school students, Murray State University faculty and other community members gathered on Murray State’s campus Tuesday in a show of solidarity with Palestinians.
Murray State History Professor Christine Lindner organized the gathering as a way for she and other community members to share their support for the Palestian people after more than a week of fighting between the Israeli military and Hamas, on a day when Palestinian leaders organized a general strike to protest Israeli attacks in Gaza.
Maysoon Khatib, an adjunct professor at Murray State, was one of the people who shared personal commentary alongside her children. Khatib was born in America, her father a Palestinian native. Her brother and sister live in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
