CHICAGO — Sue is the latest (and almost certainly the oldest) Chicagoan to show support for the LGBT community ahead of the Pride Parade this weekend.

The Field Museum, which houses Sue, tweeted a photo of a trolley with a picture of Sue, a rainbow and the slogan, "SUE's out and proud in Chicago. The Field Museum is proud to support Chicago's LGBT community."

The tweet was sent out after the Supreme Court made a ruling that legalized marriage for same-sex couples across the United States. The court's ruling was celebrated in Chicago, which will play host to its annual Pride Parade on Sunday.

The Sue trolley isn't the only notable display of pride around town: A rainbow flag was flown under the city's flag, and an iconic, large flag is on display in Boystown for the parade this weekend.
