“It’s really important from a public health perspective that we’re making sure that we’re being responsible,” said Tatiauna Holland, a representative for Pride Houston. At a Pride Houston kickoff and theme reveal party on Sunday, organizers said they planned to bring the parade back in 2022. The parade was originally pushed back to the fall last month due to permit delays caused by the pandemic. The 2021 Pride Houston parade and festival is canceled this year after the city advised against larger events due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in the region.
