HONOLULU - Honolulu Pride, Hawaii’s oldest and largest LGBTQIA* advocacy organization, announces Grand Marshals for the 2012 Honolulu Pride Parade and Celebration on Saturday, June 2nd. The Grand Marshals were selected by the Honolulu Pride selection committee because they best exemplify this year’s theme:

Honolulu Weekly (Business Grand Marshal)

Andy South (Celebrity Grand Marshal)

President Barack H. Obama (Honorary Grand Marshal)

“These amazing individuals, organizations and businesses have had a significant impact in Hawaii's LGBTQIA community and our on-going struggle for justice and equality.” said Michael Golojuch. Jr., Chair of Honolulu Pride; “We are grateful for everything that each of the Grand Marshals has done and continues to do, as we all work towards full equality.”

“The highlight of a Pride Parade is its honorees. With these distinguished Grand Marshals the 2012 Honolulu Pride Parade will be the best to date.” said Rob Hatch, Co-chair of the Honolulu Pride Parade.

The Honolulu Pride Parade is on Saturday June 2nd, at 10:00 AM, starting at Magic Island, passing through Waikiki and ending at Kapiolani Park. Each of the Grand Marshals will speak at the Honolulu Pride Celebration, which takes place immediately following the parade, at the Kapiolani Park Bandstand. The speaking schedule will be announced on Thursday May 31st.
