The Stonewall Columbus Leader(s) of Pride recognizes an individual, or individuals, who use their voice(s) to speak up and out—boldly and loudly in support of members of the LGBTQ+ community in Columbus, Ohio and beyond.
Nominees must have somehow inspired some form of collective action in or around the Central Ohio LGBTQ+ community.
Part of the power of our fight is its history. In 2022 the Columbus community, and our fight, lost some great warriors, creators of history, and this year we are honored to recognize Gloria McCauley, Sharon (Sheri) A. Turner, Linda Schuler, B. “Wahru” Cleveland and a generation of LGBTQ+ elders who laid the foundation for us to be emboldened to dream bigger dreams than they could have ever imagined as our Leaders of Pride for 2023.
