SCOTUS on Parade: A Legally Themed Pride Slideshow

How many parades feature Supreme Court litigants and signs about federal statutes? Some photos from yesterday's Pride March in NYC.

“Stop and frisk: something that should happen only between consenting individuals.” We haven’t seen signs that smart since the Georgetown law students at SCOTUS.

Some might question the premise of a Pride parade. Being gay, lesbian or transgender is merely an identity, and one could argue that pride should flow from accomplishment, not mere identity.

But one can certainly be proud of what the LGBT community and the legal profession achieved in the Windsor case. As our very own David Mowry put it, “the right thing was done. And it was done without guns or violence –- it was done by learned people who argued vociferously and passionately that they were correct. And through the arguments, and after careful consideration, the right answer was found.”
