ISBA marches in Chicago Pride Parade 2012
Several members of the Illinois State Bar Association’s Committee on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity marched in Chicago’s Pride Parade on June 24 alongside the ISBA’s mobile billboard, featuring a photo of Lincoln the lawyer with a message that reads: “Illinois has a history of some pretty good lawyers. We’re out to keep it that way.” Featuring nearly 200 floats or marching groups, the parade attracted an estimated 850,000 people who turned out to watch everyone from politicians to sequined disco dancers.
