Pride Festival Should Make Hoosiers Proud

The Circle City IN Pride Festival, held this past week in Indianapolis, attracted nearly 40,000 participants before it ended on Sunday. This celebration of equality should fill Hoosiers with pride that they live where they do. We've finally reached a point in our history when persons can openly be who they are, subject only to the stigmas that attach to all of us in one way or another. We celebrate diversity without forgetting that in the big picture, our differences are slight. We are all cousins, and Thanksgiving dinner would be boring if we were all the same.
