Survey asks if Gay Pride Parade should move downtown

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Ald. Tom Tunney has launched a survey asking people in his ward if the annual Gay Pride Parade should be moved downtown.

In the past two years, the parade has brought out more than 1 million visitors to the Lakeview neighborhood.

But along with the crowds come complaints about public drinking, crime and trash.

Tunney said moving the parade downtown may help solve those problems.
