LGBT Community Celebrates Pride Weekend

Madison’s LGBT community says its members deserve equal rights.

Sunday marked the end of Pride Weekend for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community. The event culminated in a rally for equal rights at the State Capitol, along with a parade down State Street.

The rally highlighted a recent decision by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature, which denies health insurance benefits to same sex partners of employees at the University of Wisconsin.
