The organizers of Montana's largest LGBTQ Pride celebration allege Helena officials won't grant permits for the same events the group hosts every year because of the state's drag law.
also prohibits minors from attending “sexually oriented or obscene performances on public property” and prohibits such performances “on public property where children are present.”
This year’s 30th annual Montana Pride, which sees about 15,000 attendees every year, is scheduled for July 30 to Aug. 6.
“City staff communicated generally that the event will be permitted, with the expectation that it follows the law at the time of the event,” Garcin said. “Which is the same expectation of any other event. The application is still in the review process.”
