With the controversy of Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act still casting a pall over LGBT dealings with the Hoosier State, one member of the state’s GOP, Mayor Greg Ballard of Indianapolis, has gone out of his way to show acceptance and hospitality as Pride Week begins.
“I was a little stunned to find out I was the first sitting mayor, honestly, so I am really proud of that to be frank with you,” said Mayor Ballard about his historic status as the Grand Marshal, according to WTHR.com. “I go to the festival every year and there are just a ton of people there and they are just having fun.”
