The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Nevada attend the Northern Nevada's Pride celebration held in July to coincide with Reno's annual, month-long Artown event. The downtown Reno parade started just after 10 a.m. and went to nearly 11:30 a.m. while the festival part of the celebration started at Wingfield Park at 11 a.m. Smiles were aplenty. While the celebration is focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) acceptance, many were there to support their friends and family members.
