“We chose the theme Out for Justice and the week after Governor Abercrombie signed the Civil Union’s bill into law to announce the theme because too many people think that the Civil Unions law is the end of Hawaii’s LGBT community struggle for justice and nothing could be further from the truth,” said Michael Golojuch, Jr., chair of Honolulu Pride “Justice, true justice is only a reality when all people are treated equally under the law. Civil Unions is only one segment in this journey to justice. ”
In 2010 Honolulu Pride saw its largest Pride Parade to date and with the passage of the Civil Unions law they are looking to this historic victory to help continue to grow. “The Honolulu Pride Parade is the most visible activity that Hawaii’s gay community has all year to give a public and very personal face to our community.” Says Rob Hatch, co-chair of the Parade, “Our parade helps us show our diversity to the community at large and the world.”
Honolulu Pride is also looking for a logo to go along with their theme – Out for Justice. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2011. All entries need to be e-mailed to honoluluprideparade@gmail.com and become the property of Honolulu Pride. The winner will be announced in the beginning of April.
