The Loogootee City Council voted to approve the PrideFest scheduled for September 7, allowing it to take place in the Public Square, ensuring accessibility.
Organizers Timothy and Tracy Brown-Salsma stated, 'PrideFest is about equality and acceptance, and we are thrilled to host this celebration of diversity and inclusion again.'
The ACLU of Indiana's lawsuit emphasized that the town's actions violated the festival organizers' First Amendment rights regarding free speech and assembly.
Despite being approved initially, local officials rescinded the offer based on a newly enacted ordinance, which tightened restrictions on PrideFest.
