When organizers announced last year that they wanted to launch Wausau's first LGBT pride parade, some members of the community dissented. Alderman David Nutting's concern made news when he said the parade would not be suited for a family friendly city like Wausau. The community ultimately held a revised "Equality Event." The organizer of that event shares the experience. Alderman David Nutting has been invited to join the covnersation. Central Time is awaiting his response.
