Atlanta Pride is proud to announce Congressman Dr.

Everton Blair Jr. as the 2026 Honorary Grand Marshal! 🌈 Born and raised in Gwinnett County, Congressman Blair is an educator, longtime public servant and Georgia’s first openly LGBTQ+ member of Congress. His career has taken him from teaching high school math in Atlanta Public Schools to leading the Gwinnett County Board of Education and now representing Georgia’s 13th Congressional District in Washington. We’re honored to recognize his historic leadership and welcome him to the Atlanta Pride Parade. Join us October 10–11 as we celebrate Atlanta Pride 2026, Louder & Prouder!
