Hundreds of Johns Hopkins affiliates came together to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community at this year's Baltimore Pride Parade on June 15. The route stretched from Homewood campus down to 24th Street, culminating with a community Block Party.

The original Baltimore Pride was held in 1975 and consisted of a small peaceful demonstration. Since then, the event has grown into Maryland's largest LGBTQ+ celebration, with this year's organizers preparing for crowds of 100,000. The 2024 theme was "Power of The Past, Force of The Future."
