With less than a week until the 20th Annual Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade on June 5th and we just wanted to let you know about a couple of things that have come together over the past week.
But first we want to thank the Honolulu Gay & Lesbian Cultural Foundation for putting on a GREAT Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival this weekend. We hope that you had time to catch at least one if not all of the films.
So back to the announcements – it was confirmed this week that the Democratic Party of Hawai'i will be joining us this year. Yes in the years since the creation of the GLBT Caucus the Democratic Party has marched under the GLBT Caucus banner but this year the Party is going to have its own contingent in the Parade. Yes the Pride Parade is for the LGBT community but we could have gotten to where we are today with out our allies, so this is a GREAT addition to the Parade. Every day the list of participants grows!
The Celebration following the Parade in Kapiolani has over 40 different vendors with everything from LGBT groups to local crafters to great Food Vendors and of course the Keiki area! Our entertainment line-up is being finalized as we speak and we are working to accommodate all the great talent and speakers that are clamoring to be a part of History!
So here is the time line for Saturday June 5th –
