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.”
