COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana high school student is organizing what’s believed to be the first gay pride festival in Vice President Mike Pence’s hometown.
Erin Bailey said she proposed the Columbus festival last year for her senior project at Columbus Signature Academy New Tech High School. The April 14 event will feature bands, vendors and a drag queen competition.
“I wanted to do something that was really big,” she said. “I thought ‘What is not happening in Columbus, what do we not have here?'”
