After saying he’s open to moving the annual Pride Parade out of Boystown, Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) has launched a survey to find out if the community would support moving the parade downtown.
WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller reports, the day after this year’s parade, Tunney said he is “not afraid to look” at the option of moving after it has spent most of the last 45 years in Lakeview.
The parade regularly draws crowds in the hundreds of thousands, with more than a million people gathering this year, to celebrate the state law allowing same-sex marriage in Illinois.
Eight were arrested during the parade, but afterward some residents and businesses said police didn’t do enough to keep the peace.
