Denver PrideFest 2009 has a theme!

And that theme is ... "Worldwide Pride - Connect the Dots."

The Center offers a hearty 'thank you' to everyone who submitted ideas for a theme for PrideFest 2009.

There were many suggestions, ranging from celebratory to political and everything in between.

The committee felt "Worldwide Pride - Connect the Dots" best reflected not only a political motive reminding us that we are part of a larger community, but also celebrates The GLBT Community Center's new logo - which can be seen at www.glbtcolorado.org. Additionally, this theme offers a great many possibilities for execution from merchandise to the parade.

Don't forget to check back at www.denverpridefest.org throughout the spring for the latest news and event information about PrideFest.

Hopefully I'll be the official blogger again this year. I had a great time doing blogging for Denver PrideFest 2008.

You pick the theme for Denver PrideFest 2009!

Denver PrideFest is selecting their theme for 2009, and they want your input!

There are many reasons for our Pride this year:

1. 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

2. Colorado has become one of the most GLBT friendly states in the country (through
the passage of statutes such as second-parent adoption, trans-inclusive ENDA,
public accomodation and more).

3. The United States has elected a President openly supportive of GLBT rights.

And so much more. So what's the most important to you? What should the theme of Denver PrideFest 2009 be?

Please email your suggestions to adrayer@glbtcolorado.org. The official theme for PrideFest 2009 will be announced in mid-March.

My suggestion is in honor of both Stonewall and Harvey Milk so I say let's go with a 'San Francisco 1969'.

The possibilities are endless.

Colorado Springs PrideFest 2008 mega-picture post #1

I attended my first Colorado Springs PrideFest today and had a really awesome time. The people were really pumped for the day, the weather was perfect, and the parade and the festival were just the right size, not too big and crazy and not too small.
