Mayor Marty Walsh also sent us a statement Tuesday affirming his support for Boston Pride. We reached out to City Hall, which confirms it has been contacted by the group, but has not yet issued the permits required to host a parade. He also claims to have filed a discrimination complaint against the city. Medford’s Mark Sahady, who identifies as vice president of the group, says in a Facebook post that he is working with the city to make plans and that his goal is to hold the parade on Saturday, August 31. “It will be a one-day event consisting of a parade followed by a flag raising ceremony.” ![]() “The Straight Pride Event will be held to achieve inclusivity and spread awareness of issues impacting straights in Greater Boston and beyond,” a post on a website advertising the parade reads. Its organizers say they hope to travel the same route as Boston Pride, which begins in Copley Square and rolls through the South End on the way to Boston Common and City Hall. If this actually happens, and you’re looking for the tens if not dozens of guys who show up for it, that’s where you’ll find them. A date has not yet been set.
