I Love A Parade

Disability Pride Parade to step off in Chicago

Karen Meyer, ABC Local - July 14, 2013

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I have heard of anything like a "Disability Pride Parade", or thought of it as an idea. I can't believe it isn't a more common thing. I'm not big on flashy protests. I'm not against them, it's more of personal dislike. But I could get behind something like this once a year. Sure, it's kind of copycatting the LGBT Pride tradition, but a disability version, done right, could be unique enough to become a strong tradition of its own, with a distinctive message.
