Seattle Out and Proud is a nonprofit organization that coordinates and promotes LGBT events in Seattle. The largest event is the Pride Parade, held on the last Sunday in June to honor Stonewall, the 1969 event marking the start of the gay rights movement in the United States. Preliminary events include a singing competition called Pride Idol and a family-friendly picnic. The 2013 Pride Parade was notable for the participation of uniformed members of the Boy Scouts of America, celebrating the recent decision by that organization to allow openly gay boys to join as Scouts.
