A small town is trying to ban Pride for the 3rd year in a row but organizers won't back down - LGBTQ Nation

Advocacy organization Patoka Valley AIDS Community Action Group first held the Pride fest in 2023 in the town's public square without incident. It drew about 200 attendees. The next year, however, following the election of a new mayor and council members, the town passed a burdensome ordinance that effectively overturned prior approval of the group's 2024 permit request. The group refiled its application in compliance with the new rules, but that permit request was ignored. A subsequent lawsuit by the group changed city officials' minds; the permit request was approved, and the Pride fest was on for a second year. Attendance grew to about 350 people, according to court documents.
