Gene Floyd: A Mother—and a Marshal


NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Gene Floyd was planning to march in the local gay pride parade this past June, just as she’s done for each of this city’s past 18. But organizers had a different plan.
They wanted her as the grand marshal.
“I was stunned. I couldn’t believe it,” when asked, she said. “It never occurred to me that I would be asked to be the Grand Marshall. And why they asked me, I really don’t know.”
Floyd is 75 … and straight.
