The march proceeds north on High St. toward Goodale Park.
June 28, 1969 marked the beginning of the Stonewall Uprising—six days of events between police and LGBTQ+ protesters. While the Stonewall Inn and Uprising became widely known due to media coverage and the annual Pride traditions that followed, it was the fulcrum upon which years of LGBTQ+ activism shifted.
The first Pride march in Columbus, Ohio was held in June 1981. Only 200 people were in attendance, and some wore bags over their heads to conceal their identities.
When we last gathered in person, in 2024, we were joined by over 22,000 marchers—presenting nonprofits, activists, community organizations, corporate sponsors, small businesses, and political candidates.
