The city of Aurora has revoked the special event permit for the Aurora Pride group to hold the Aurora Pride Parade Sunday.
The revocation is based on “the inability of the Aurora Pride board to retain the number of law enforcement officers required to ensure the public health and welfare of participants and spectators” at the Aurora Pride Parade, according to a statement Wednesday afternoon from the city of Aurora.
The organization said they could march with banners, wearing T-shirts or other kinds of identifiable shirts - called a “soft uniform” - but not in full uniform with weapons. The statement by police Tuesday did not say whether the shortage of officers volunteering to work overtime shifts to provide security at the event is related to the organizers not wanting police to march in the parade in uniform.Aurora Pride officials acknowledged in a statement posted on Twitter Wednesday afternoon that the parade permit had been revoked, but told supporters to “please hang tight.
Similar to what the city did with the Irish and Mexican flags, officials will raise the Pride flag during a ceremony at 11 a.m. Friday in One Aurora Plaza in front of North Island Center on Galena Boulevard downtown.
