Levi Frerichs and his dog Louis march on June 30, 2019, at the 50th Chicago Pride Parade.
Many said they are not letting worry creep in. Gary Chichester, who is being honored as the Legacy Grand Marshal in this year’s parade, expressed wariness of giving in to extreme worry. Chichester’s name was on the first Chicago Pride parade permit in 1971 and he is a board member emeritus for the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame.
“If you looked at the conservative Supreme Court we currently have, my marriage, for example, is secured under the same reasoning that provided Roe v. Wade,” he said. “The fear we have is that many of the rights that we enjoy currently are in danger.” When asked to respond to Tunney’s letter at an unrelated news conference Wednesday, Brown said the department has added more staffing for this year’s parade and has had more coordination with businesses and stakeholders in the planning process than in previous years.
More recently, police have had difficulty controlling large gatherings of teenagers this year that have broken out in violence and even resulted in the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old Seandell Holliday next to The Bean sculpture in May. The shooting promoted the city to ban unaccompanied minors from visiting Millennium Park after 6 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday.
