The start of the 2019 Columbus Pride

Columbus Ohio's Virginia West performance at the start. She is Nina West's Drag Mother. Nina West is the Grand Marshall.

I love her even more and I didn't think that was possible

To the little girl with the anti lgbt adults.. I've been there remember this moment and find your own way. Your parents raise you not own you.

[@idiot9020]

Heck to the yes. Let that kid be who she wants to b and let her support the things she believes in! I was there during that parade actually, it was fun!

[@sshadix5400]

It's been a very, very long time that a performance has moved me so immensely. Thank you, Nina West, for a perfect song, a perfect performance and a perfect statement. I mean, just wow!

[@WindAndWander]

I believe that is Virginia West. Nina was on the Grand Marshal float behind the bikers. Still, I absolutely agree. Powerful performance and a perfect statement!

Tears in my eyes as I watch 😭

[@justinschreck5683]

That is happening to me every time I watch it

[@sunshinekobold2397]

Oh I wish I wasn't out of town so I could have been there!!

[@jdgillum8533]

I support the LGBTQ community, sadly the three people with signs is my uncle, aunt, and cousin, hopefully one day they can change their views.

[@nunya8093]

John Gillum you did nothing wrong. You have nothing to apologize. Be happy with yourself don't let others drag you down.

[@legoteentwins7349]

Omg that’s so crazy, you don’t have to apologize for them. They’re putting a bad name on the Christian community by spreading hate

[@somethinginthewalls]

Shoutout to homophobes ALWAYS knowing when pride parades are...

[@lone-welf]

LMFAO...

[@idiot9020]

Alrighty guys, it may not be pride month anymore but I want the comments on this to be a chain of pride flags for my friend who just came out. Their parents don’t support them. So I can show them support, let the pride flags rain down! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️ ✨

[@idiot9020]

I’ll start the chain 🏳️‍🌈

[@jeffrobinson4523]

This is what the celebration of the human spirit and love for everyone embraces....unity, peace and loving thy neighbor...for love is love ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤....thank you to the million people who came out celebrate , support and show a universal love 🌈 for the LGTBQ community . Special thanks to all the sponsors & supporters....the many churches , Ohio Healthcare, Ohio State University, hospitals, Teachers association , Ohio Education system, Chase Bank & many others , Krogers, Meijers, Donatos, Chipotles, Starbucks , Amazon , Columbia gas and So many, many , many more !! The support is just so amazing !! 👏 Special thanks to Nina West and Collen Marshall , you are beautiful ! While the gay community has achieved some rights in this country, such as the marriage equality act...we still have hurdles ahead of us . Housing, emoyment and other discrimination still exist. At a time when certain political forces attempt to cease our progress and flat out deny our existence. We must ALL stand strong and resist their bigoted, homophobic attacks on our community . We must vote in record numbers to elect politicians and representatives who will fight for us, to protect our rights as Americans. Tim Ryan is a man who has our back , we must send him to congress ... We need a massive tidal wave of blue 💙 voters this mid term election cycle to stop the injustice and hatred ideologies by these right wing politicians. In 1983 Columbus pride had 200 in attendance ....In 2022 are number are over a million . Our 🌈 Pride , strength and support continues to grow !
