Gays make their presents known in Wichita.

Wichita’s Gay Pride parade was the largest in this cities history according to TV news counts. This shows that gays in Wichita are tired of being pushed around by fundamentalist preachers. Some of those preachers attended the event to heckle the gays and a minister was arrested for trying to block it. But they were far outnumbered by the gays and their supporters.

At this time I have no pictures from the march. Here is one in New York City:

From The Wichita Eagle, Jun. 25, 2007:

Organizers with the Pride Parade and Festival said about 1,200 people attended Sunday's event, about 200 more than last year.
"I think it says people are more comfortable about being out," said Thomas Witt, chairman of the Kansas Equality Coalition and a keynote speaker at the event………….

But at about 3 p.m., police arrested Spirit One Christian Center pastor Mark Holick.
Wichita police Sgt. Bret Stull said Holick, who was with a group of protesters, was arrested after refusing to leave the festival. Stull said officers asked him to go back across the street five times before they arrested him.
