Local leaders in Starkville, Mississippi, denied a request to host what would have been the town’s first gay pride parade.
LGBTQ support group Starkville Pride planned the parade for March 24, but on Tuesday the Starkville Board of Aldermen voted 4-3 to deny the request. Sixteen people spoke in support of the event and two spoke against it, according to the Starkville Daily News.
Resident Dorothy Isaac told The Associated Press she was against the parade because “God created Adam and Eve.”
“Do not turn our city into a sin city,” Isaac said. “It should not be this.”
