It’s not all fun and twerking at the Twin Cities Pride Festival and Parade. It’s big money, too, and some of it was yours.

The annual event held in downtown Minneapolis is put on each year by a nonprofit called Twin Cities Pride. It’s the trademark of a nonprofit officially named Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual Transgender Pride-Twin Cities (the three hyphens are legally part of the name). …

Much of the funding for the admission-free event comes from corporate and other sponsors. Target was this year’s lead sponsor. Also listed as a lead sponsor is Metro Transit, a unit of the Metropolitan Council regional government.

Utilities and hospitals are prominent on the list, as are media outlets such as the Minneapolis Star Tribune and state-sponsored Minnesota Public Radio. Curiously, Planned Parenthood is also on the list of sponsors.
