Johns Hopkins plans to make a colorful showing at the 41st annual Baltimore Pride Parade on July 23, reprising its “scrubs rainbow” of 2015. Last year, about 150 people from across the institution marched in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) individuals and allies.
Participation this year seems particularly urgent following the massacre in June at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. LGBTQ at JHU will host a pre-parade sign making party July 21 from 4 to 6 p.m. The first 300 Johns Hopkins participants who sign up to march will receive a Johns Hopkins Pride shirt and the opportunity to be part of the scrubs rainbow.
Baltimore’s Pride weekend attracts tens of thousands of revelers and includes live music and a high-heel race. Learn more about LGBTQ resources.
