"This is a very community-driven process," president Tiffany Scales said. "Instead of our parade only having one grand marshal, as some would see at other parades in the city, we have five."
Voters will choose winners in all five categories, including male- and female-identifying, gender nonconforming/nonbinary, ally and organization grand marshals.
Pride Houston 365 will also name a Trendsetter grand marshal, who will represent the youth/young adult community, and for the first time ever, three Distinguished grand marshals.
The winners of this year's vote will be announced at Pride Houston's Cinco de Mayo celebration in May.
In November, organizers announced their 2025 theme, "Celebration is Our Legacy," on ABC13. The parade and festival will happen downtown on June 28.
ABC13 is the proud media partner of Pride Houston 365.
