AnneTheWriter<p>My home city of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuroraIllinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuroraIllinois</span></a> tried to back out of their contract to hold a <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PrideParade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrideParade</span></a> in 2022, because parade organizers had asked officers in the parade route to not wear their uniforms. Some <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BlueLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueLivesMatter</span></a> feelings were hurt, so a lot of officers tried to back out of providing security for the event (they were being paid overtime to provide the security).</p><p>With too few officers agreeing to provide security for overtime, the parade faced cancellation. After a great deal of local uproar in support of the parade, things were worked out last-minute. But the questions raised by the disagreement have since gone on to be a Federal Court case.</p><p>On Friday, a Federal Judge ruled temporarily in favor of the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Pride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pride</span></a> group hosting the event, saying that sections of the City's permit process likely violates the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Constitution</span></a>. This ruling now allows this year's parade to go definitively forward.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GayPride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GayPride</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Constitutional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Constitutional</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Lawsuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lawsuit</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Parades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Parades</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LGBTQpride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQpride</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20230519/parts-of-aurora-parade-permit-law-likely-unconstitutional-federal-judge-says-in-gay-pride-event-suit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">dailyherald.com/news/20230519/</span><span class="invisible">parts-of-aurora-parade-permit-law-likely-unconstitutional-federal-judge-says-in-gay-pride-event-suit</span></a></p>
